I'm the boss because I have a harem of anime characters.

Qin Shan glanced at Li Zheng's shoulder. Hmm, Lieutenant General. In Dongda at this time, it's quite reasonable to have a Lieutenant General in the lunar base. He might have been promoted to a higher rank in an emergency, but he is definitely the one in charge.

"We're going to explore the Abyss Gate next. Are you all prepared here? Do you have enough weapons and ammunition?"

"Rest assured, we are well prepared."

The abyss will spread with the expansion of human civilization. Qin Shan had told this to Fairy Yunmeng before. Therefore, all countries that landed on the moon prepared corresponding measures. However, at present, the only countries on Earth that can stockpile supplies, or even war materials, on the moon are Dongda University and the new Soviet Union. Other countries are willing but unable to do so.

Therefore, the current situation on the moon is that although many countries have their own astronauts stationed there, their food, clothing, housing, and transportation all depend on the Tokyo University and the new Soviet Union. The Tokyo University and the new Soviet Union are completely in cahoots, and offending either of them is equivalent to being targeted by two superpowers at the same time.

This is hard for some countries with a strong sense of dignity (for example, after the split, India and Bharat emerged as the two self-proclaimed legitimate successors of India, but in reality, they are just the two largest pieces among the dozen or so pieces of India that split apart). Originally, South Korea should have been the one to accept this, along with the US's lackeys. But now that the US is finished and the Philippines has split after a coup, South Korea and Japan are constantly groveling before the University of Tokyo, calling it their father, trying to recapture the feeling of being a "little Celestial Empire." Even if they look down on other countries, they will not disrespect the University of Tokyo and the new Soviet Union.

But right now, the entire lunar base is supplied by Tokyo University and the new Soviet Union. Go ahead and starve to death if you want.

Anyway, the Dongda lunar base never lacks food. Wherever vegetables can be grown, the lunar soil is composted and filled with all kinds of vegetables and fruits. Cucumbers and tomatoes can be seen in flower pots. These produce ensures a balanced and nutritious diet for the lunar base. Recently, they have even started researching lunar aquaculture. The current standard is to raise fish and mealworms first to solve the protein problem. After briefly explaining the work, Qin Shan flew directly into the Abyss Gate. The transformation was complete, and he had the key. On the other side, Lexington, Saratoga, Rodney, and the two little ones (Little Otaku and Little Lolita) were already waiting for him.

"Let's go see the new world."

The pedestrians successfully arrived in the new world (number 6), which is a vast ocean.

However, the group was prepared and did not continue to explore the surroundings. Instead, they flew directly upwards, quickly entered the planet's synchronous orbit, and began launching satellites.

Qin Shan opened the dimensional gate, and on the other side, in the industrial star system of World Three, Beizhai had intelligent robots push the prepared satellites one by one over, quickly forming a network. Hours later, the orbit of this world was filled with satellites, and Qin Shan also discovered the satellite deployed by this world's civilization. Then, he unceremoniously retrieved this satellite.

Let Yubari study it. Aerospace technology is a cutting-edge technology of a civilization. By analyzing the satellite creations of this civilization, we can roughly judge the level of its technology.

In fact, judging by appearance is also possible. If the creations of this civilization can be understood through your knowledge system, then it proves at least two things:

First, this civilization has a technological system similar to yours.

Secondly, even if this civilization's technological level surpasses that of Earth, it wouldn't be by too much.

Let those satellites (including the ones that have been captured) handle the intelligence gathering work from now on.

Section 168: I don't eat beef

Advanced technology is convenient; Qin Shan quickly obtained all the information about World Six.

We also have to thank the advanced internet in World Six. A lot of global information is publicly available, such as macro-level information on politics, economics, military affairs, and culture. By simply browsing through these, one can gain a full understanding of the entire world.

Judging from the map, this is a parallel world similar to Earth, with a high degree of similarity, but with a completely different history.

The biggest difference is that during the Battle of Trafalgar between Britain and France, before the battle even began, the renowned Admiral Nelson died on the ship from a combination of dysentery and seasickness. In the ensuing battle, the three commanders who succeeded him were all killed by stray bullets within an hour, resulting in the complete annihilation of the British Navy. Meanwhile, the Franco-Spanish (French and Spanish) combined fleet was largely unaffected and launched a direct landing operation against Britain.

Britain, or Britain, lost its homeland before it even became known as the "Empire of the British Empire." Without a word, it moved to the Americas, creating a new North American version of Britain. Meanwhile, the British homeland was completely assimilated by France. In the process, France killed nine-tenths of the English population and successfully split the rest of Britain. Thus, the global Britain disappeared completely, replaced by the British Empire in North America.

They are still a monarchy.

From that time on, the fates of Europe and the Americas diverged into two completely different parallel lines. In Europe, centered on France, the European Federation (EFF) was established, integrating all European countries except Russia and creating a new federal state. Napoleon, the future Napoleon, did not die in exile but passed away at the age of 100. In his later years, he abolished the monarchy and adopted a republican system, which allowed the Bonaparte family to successfully establish themselves as a powerful family hidden within the new political system of the EFF.

Britain, on the other hand, embarked on a path of mutual struggle between monarchy and constitutional monarchy, a path that continued until the 98th monarch.

The reign of Emperor Charles V. Britain officially ended when he became the current emperor, as Charles eliminated all the rebels.

They killed them all and established a monarchical, dog-eat-dog empire. Relying on new technologies excavated from ruins, they mass-produced mobile armaments, namely single-person tactical mechs, which were between three and five meters tall and highly mobile. However, most importantly, they deployed a large amount of advanced full-channel jamming technology on the battlefield, rendering traditional wireless guided weapons ineffective. This gave Holy Britain a unique advantage in the new battlefield environment.

This type of all-channel jamming technology is now widely used in various countries, so the development of guided weapons in this world has been halted for some time, resulting in the overall engagement distance between the two sides remaining at a war-to-war level.

Qin Shan was so happy he almost clapped his hands. "Great! Great! This is great!"

Your full-channel jamming is very effective, but my system is not afraid of this stuff. No matter how you jam it, my Fourth Scourge remote-controlled army can still sweep across the entire world.

Aside from the European Union and Great Britain, there is another special constitutional monarchy, the Chinese Federation.

The country's unique historical timeline emerged during the Southern Song Dynasty. According to history, after General Yue, who was betrayed by the Song Dynasty, died, his son Yue Yun escaped by chance. He then raised an army to avenge his father, exterminating the entire Zhao family, the imperial clan. He then revitalized the court, removing the Song Dynasty's restrictions on military generals and massively expanding the military, justifying it by saying, "If we don't expand the army, we will have to pay reparations. Paying reparations would be a disgrace to the nation. Any civil or military official who dares to speak of surrender will have their entire family executed."

Then the Southern Song Dynasty changed its name to Han, historically known as the New Han, and began to fight the Jin Dynasty to the death.

After successfully destroying the Jin dynasty, the new Han dynasty began a fierce battle with the Mongols. Because the new emperor placed great emphasis on new weapons, especially firearms, the Han army deployed a combination of heavy matchlock muskets and breech-loading cannons in the Battle of Mobei. Genghis Khan was driven far away to the north of the Gobi Desert, nearly losing his life. Then, turning west, he found the smaller Karami tribes there easier to subdue, and thus decisively decided to launch a westward expedition. As for the east, he would entrust the wisdom of future generations!

Over the next few centuries, two rounds of regime changes took place in the Central Plains, eventually leading to the establishment of the current Chinese Federation, a vast constitutional monarchy encompassing two-thirds of Asia and deeply influencing Oceania.

However, just as the moon wanes after it is full, and water overflows when it is full, the Chinese Federation at this time was also beset by internal and external troubles.

In the three-way power struggle in international politics, the Central Union has entered a period of decline, Britain is still on the rise, the European Union is fighting Britain on all fronts, and seven years ago, Britain took over Japan, now known as Area 11.

What a familiar name. Could there be another chuunibyou (delusional teenager) here trying to save the world? Tsk tsk tsk.

"That's about all the information. Admiral, should we get involved?"

Qin Shan reached out and hugged Lexington, saying with a smile, "Of course, and I've already chosen my target. Zhonglian, it's you I've decided on. Go straight down there and take care of this country!"

According to the results of satellite energy scanning, there are no individuals in this world that exceed the third order. Since that's the case, there's no need to be so cautious. We can stride forward and floor the gas pedal.

It's time to show that I don't eat beef.

Luoyang, the Forbidden City

Under the emperor's feet, in a land of dragon veins, but today, Qin Shan has brought his men to strengthen the defenses of this place.

"Halt! You've overstepped your bounds! Arrest me!"

Qin Shan was only near the gate of the Forbidden City at this time, but the guards with swords had already surrounded him. These guards were all armed with both cold and hot weapons. The swords were symbolic, bearing the insignia of the Imperial Guards, while the guns were because times had changed. The swords were now just for status and intimidation; in a real fight, they would all be armed with real guns.

"No, brother, I just approached, I haven't done anything yet."

"Without royal permission, you dare approach the capital? Whatever you do next is your end—you'll get twenty lashes!"

Seeing that these people had no interest in communicating, Qin Shan sighed, stopped pretending, and took action directly.

"I have no interest in wasting my time on doormen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shan was already standing at the city gate, while the guards with swords stood frozen in place. A moment later, their heads all fell to the ground.

"If we break in and the emperor isn't killed, we'll announce the removal of corrupt officials from the court. If the emperor is unfortunately killed, I'll hold a diving competition in the Luo River and throw all the powerful and wealthy people in the Central Alliance into it to exercise."

At Qin Shan's command, the Lexington and Saratoga simultaneously deployed their shipboard equipment, and planes soared into the sky, obscuring the entire sky above the Forbidden City. Meanwhile, the cannons on the shipboard equipment unleashed a barrage of fire directly at the walls of the Forbidden City.

The ship girls' ship-mounted firepower, combined with their extraordinary strength, is equivalent to a tactical nuclear strike.

In the blink of an eye, the main gate, city walls, and barbican of the Forbidden City vanished without a trace, leaving only a panicked crowd and dumbfounded imperial guards.

What a dream! I saw the Forbidden City being breached. How could I have such a dream?

Chapter 169: The Regent said, "Your name is on the list."

As the capital of the Central Plains, Luoyang's defenses were undoubtedly formidable, but there was a prerequisite: the enemy couldn't be too outrageous.

For example, the current situation is like Godzilla storming into a primitive tribe, unless the other side is called Wakanda.

But the Central Alliance is clearly not like that. Even if this world possesses unique mecha weapons, when they arrive, they are obviously no match for the overwhelming ship equipment and extraordinary power.

In just one round, a single precise roll call, the entire Imperial Guard of the Forbidden City was wiped out. All those whose weapons were of higher standard than a kitchen knife were reduced to ashes, while their opponents leisurely strolled towards the Emperor's Palace in the Forbidden City.

"Admiral, a group of people are protecting a child and preparing to leave."

"Keep the kids, and kill the rest."

"clear."

The fighter jets in the sky immediately made a right-angle dive in a way that was most out of character for their design and structure. In the blink of an eye, the team that was protecting a girl was reduced to just a girl sitting on the blood and flesh, her face filled with terror.

By hacking into Zhonglian's database and comparing the data, it was confirmed that this was indeed Zhonglian's leader, Jiang Lihua.

Although they are not the same person, the surname is Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang.

Just as Jiang Lihua's heart was filled with fear, a little girl appeared in front of her.

"Hello, you must be the Emperor."

There was no respect in his tone, and the time and place of his appearance were too outrageous. If he were a seasoned veteran who could quickly regain his composure, he would have drawn his sword immediately.

But Jiang Lihua, who had lived in the deep palace since childhood, had obviously never seen such a scene before. The emperor was also an ordinary person and could be afraid. If you haven't experienced it, you haven't experienced it. Your status and position did not have any special advantages when facing such a sudden situation. On the contrary, they were more likely to attract the enemy's firepower.

"You, who are you?"

"Answer my question, are you the emperor?" Xiao Zhai continued. Jiang Lihua then nodded.

Then Xiaozhai ran away and, under Jiang Lihua's watchful gaze, threw herself into a man's arms.

So handsome! That was Jiang Lihua's first impression of Qin Shan.

"Admiral, even if she were the emperor, she'd still just be a child."

"That's true, but in the context of Zhonglian, this kid is quite extraordinary."

Qin Shan smiled and looked at Jiang Lihua, then said while she was still somewhat stunned, "Hello, my name is Qin Shan. I have only one purpose in coming here, which is to rebuild Zhonglian. I wonder if Miss Jiang would be willing to help me."

It doesn't matter if they don't help. At worst, Qin Shan can just turn them into puppets and control them remotely. Anyway, we already have Ze Sheng as a successful example, so it won't hurt to have another one.

"Hmm, hmm? Hmm! You, are you people like Xingke?"

Li Xingke, a man determined to change the Central Alliance, was originally a chivalrous knight-errant. Due to a multitude of complex relationships, he later became a reformist. In the current state of the Central Alliance, the reformist faction still has strong vitality. After all, it has not yet developed to the point where it cannot survive without revolution. Otherwise, it would not be a matter of having chivalrous knights-errant, but rather the royal family being locked in a basement and subjected to bullets.

Nicholas II of Hell gave it a thumbs down.

"Guess it."

Leaving behind a casual question and a handsome smile, Qin Shan then had Xiao Luo and Xiao Zhai take Jiang Lihua back to her palace to take care of her and prevent certain individuals from taking advantage of the situation to help the emperor die.

After all, many emperors in history died from water poisoning or from colds.

With the emperor in hand, any Chinese person who has studied a little history knows what to say next: announce to the outside world that the purge of corrupt officials has ended, and that the Sino-US alliance has ushered in a new era. Everyone should not worry; everything is stable and improving, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

But in reality, we need to make a list.

"Isn't it said that the powerful eunuchs are monopolizing power and interfering in politics? Then let's get rid of them all."

Having obtained the list of officials of the Central Alliance, Qin Shan immediately began to include those with significant family influence in the eunuch faction, completely disregarding whether this was an intentional overreach.

These kinds of people have deep roots in the local areas, with countless connections. If we don't take action now and eliminate their entire families, many subsequent reforms simply cannot be carried out. Even for reformists, we need to use both a knife and a sugar. Since we have chosen centralized power, the central government must have the power to suppress the local areas unconditionally.

Local authorities are trying to bargain with the central government? They're giving you a hard time! Drag them out and may their whole family die!

To improve the efficiency of the purge, Yi Xian and Ping Hai were also transferred by Qin Shan. Together with Rodney, his wife, and his sister-in-law, the five ship girls with strength of level seven or above were assembled and began a major purge of the Central Alliance bureaucracy.

Qin Shan himself took the tiger tally to command the troops around Luoyang.

She and Rodney, together, killed anyone who disagreed.

Of course, there are definitely some who are not afraid of death.

"Although you possess the Tiger Tally, your status..."

The next second, the general's head entered his chest cavity, and then Qin Shan tore it to pieces with his bare hands.

"Get this straight, this is the Tiger Tally. I am your new commander. The imperial edict clearly states that from today onwards, I am the Regent of the Central Alliance. I am not trying to bargain with you."

The officers and staff looked at their former superior, who was now a bloody mess, swallowed hard, and then resolutely chose to swear allegiance and obey the orders of Regent Qin Shan.

Even if the imperial edict looks like it was just written, you have the power to speak.

Qin Shan easily seized control of the northern army of Luoyang. Then, he set up a teleportation portal nearby and incorporated a large number of intelligent combat units into the army. Some of these were remotely controlled units, and the operators were not American soldiers from the new United States in World One, but refugees rescued from World Four at the new island base in World Two.

The area now has a population of over a million, all of whom are refugees from the world gathered by Qin Shan. They are receiving advanced modern education, using the best equipment, and naturally pledge allegiance to Qin Shan, serving him and fighting on the battlefield.

Let alone remotely controlling robots to go to the battlefield, even if Qin Shan wanted to recruit suicide soldiers from among them, these people would not hesitate to give their lives, because Qin Shan has given them so much that it is enough to make those who have crawled out of famine and plague be completely devoted to Qin Shan.

These were essentially a supervisory force; if the Northern Army in Luoyang caused trouble after they left, they would be executed without mercy.

The next target is the Southern Army in Luoyang. The imperial guards of the Central Alliance capital are the Northern and Southern Armies. With these two armies in hand, control of the capital is secure. With the righteous cause in hand, and by demonstrating his power, the locals will quickly recognize Qin Shan as the new regent and act on behalf of the emperor.

If the opposition and rebel forces are then swiftly eliminated, Zhonglian will truly fall under Qin Shan's control.

However, the situation on the Southern Army's side was slightly more complicated. When Qin Shan arrived at the location, the local generals had actually activated tactical mechs to resist. The mech unit codenamed Steel Skull looked quite spectacular after it assembled.

"This is a rare opportunity, let's send our AI troops up and give it a try."

Qin Shan placed a device in his right hand, and a dimensional portal unfolded on the distant horizon, after which a massive number of intelligent machine troops launched an attack.

The first thing to come was a barrage of anti-tank missiles. Although they are anti-tank missiles, there is no rule that they can only deal with tanks. The battlefield is not a game of chess. The rule here is to kill the enemy at all costs, using any method you can. Don't think that laying down anti-aircraft guns or even naval guns will land you in a military court. The final judgment is always left to the losers.

Steel Skull is the standard mech of the United Nations. In World VI, the role of this tactical mech is similar to that of a tank, except that it is more versatile. However, all of this is based on the rapid development of full-channel jamming technology and the lack of development of guided weapons. Once the technology to solve this kind of interference is available, these mechs with an average height of three to five meters will become sitting ducks.

For intelligent weapons, the higher the enemy is on the battlefield, the easier it is to defeat them.

When the Imperial Guards of the South saw a group of flying units approaching, their first reaction was to think they were rockets, and they quickly began to deploy their formation. However, when the rockets started to accurately target and hit people, they realized that something was wrong.

"How can this rocket curve?"

"It's a smart weapon; the enemy used a smart weapon."

"Where's the full-band jamming equipment? What's it doing?!"

"It's already running at full power."
