Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 368 The Final Battle in Las Vegas! A Battle of Trapped Beasts
Liu Qi left Chen Jie's residence.

Half an hour later, he returned with Jack Bonaparte.

obviously,
This time, Jack Bonaparte came to Nanjing in secret.

When Chen Jie saw Jack Bonaparte, he was very enthusiastic and went up to give him a Western-style hug.

“Mr. Jack Bonaparte, what brings you to Nanjing? We agreed on a one-year period, but it hasn’t even been six months yet.”

Back in Songjiang Prefecture, Chen Jie spared no expense in creating the first overseas mercenary army.

All the captured French Allied personnel, totaling more than 2,600, were taken away by Jack Bonaparte.

At the same time, Jack Bonaparte was also given sixteen warships.

The fleet included four armored cruisers and eight gunboats.

In order to enable Jack Bonaparte to develop rapidly and seize the island, Chen Jie even gave Jack Bonaparte 10,000 gold coins.

With the fighting strength of Jack Bonaparte's fleet, it would be able to put up a fight even if it encountered the Eastern Fleet at sea.

Jack Bonaparte was a major general in the French Empire, a quintessential soldier.

With the defeat of the Western Allied Forces, Jack Bonaparte could no longer return to the West, or he would have been severely punished.

But a soldier's discipline cannot be changed; he was wearing a brand-new military uniform and a command sword at his waist.

After Chen Jie greeted him.

Jack Bonaparte stamped his foot, stood at attention, and saluted Chen Jie.

"My lord! I originally intended to attack the island as you instructed, but unfortunately, with the current strength of our fleet, we are unable to take it."

"The Japanese have more than 100,000 troops stationed on the islands. We attacked three times but were unable to land."

"Fortunately, we used long-range artillery, so the losses were not significant."

"Our fleet has patrolled the seas and the ships are currently anchored at Dongdao Island in the East China Sea."

He spoke in standard English, which Chen Jie could understand.

Chen Jie nodded and gestured for the other person to sit down.

Next,
Chen Jie personally poured Jack Bonaparte a full cup of tea and said:
"The Japanese actually stationed 100,000 troops in Taiwan? It seems they have a big appetite."

After the Japanese occupied Northeast China, they continuously increased their troop numbers.

According to current intelligence in Northeast China, the Kwantung Army has more than one million troops stationed there.

In the northwest of the Daqian Dynasty, Prince Ning, Li Mu, collaborated with the Japanese, and nearly 80,000 Kwantung Army soldiers infiltrated the northwest.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese have stationed more than 100,000 troops in Taiwan.

It is clear.

The Japanese have already planned a general offensive.

A three-pronged attack!

The Japanese continued to reinforce their troops in Taiwan, and then sent the Kwantung Army to infiltrate Hanzhong and the northwest.

Simultaneously,

From the northeast, once the Kwantung Army captures Shanhaiguan, their swords will be aimed directly at the capital.

If an attack is launched from three directions, the Great Qian Dynasty will be in grave danger.

Chen Jie lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up and said:
"Jack Bonaparte, how many men does your fleet have now? Are your weapons and ammunition sufficient?"

Jack Bonaparte nodded and said:

"There are a total of three thousand people. Compared to a few months ago, the number of people has not increased much, but the combat power has more than doubled."

A few months ago,
Jack Bonaparte had an army of 2,600 men.

Surprisingly, after so much time, there are only three thousand people.

This shows that Jack Bonaparte's forces have not increased.

After listening to Jack Bonaparte's detailed introduction, Chen Jie was somewhat dissatisfied.

With such a large investment of warships and 10,000 gold coins, the return on investment is very low!
but,

Chen Jie quickly realized that the development of Jack Bonaparte's fleet was the normal situation.

If they develop at the same pace as Simon Hall, that would be abnormal, as it would be easy to lose control.

It is quite remarkable that Jack Bonaparte was able to stabilize the situation within a few months.

After Ximentang's fleet sets sail.

At that time, the core members of Jack Bonaparte's fleet will need to undergo intensive training at Simon's fleet for a period of time.

After a while,
Jack Bonaparte took a deep breath and said:
"Sir, we have intercepted a shipment of pig iron being transported from Europe to the East Sea. There are a total of thirty-two transport ships."

"I came to see you this time because these pig irons are of no use to our fleet, but I believe you can use them, sir."

"In addition, we are short of cannonballs. Last time we attacked Taiwan Island, we fought the Japanese several times. This time, we intercepted a Japanese merchant ship, and the cannonballs were used up in large quantities."

“Buying shells from the British Empire was not only expensive, but their power was also severely limited.”

"I heard that your arsenal can produce cannons. Could you provide us with some cannonballs?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie's eyes widened immediately.

Pig iron from 32 ocean-going transport ships?

That's over 50,000 tons!

During this period, the Shandong Arsenal consumed too much steel, leading to a bottleneck.

Just when I was feeling sleepy, someone brought me a pillow.

With the 50,000 tons of pig iron from Jack Bonaparte, the manufacture of tanks could then be put on the agenda.

Simultaneously,

The construction of the railway should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Transporting heavy weapons requires the use of rail transport.

Chen Jie smiled and said:

“Very good! Jack Bonaparte, deliver the pig iron to the dock in Songjiang Prefecture, and I will arrange for someone to provide you with a batch of cannonballs.”

"Any supplies you seize at sea in the future can be sent to Songjiang Prefecture, and I will arrange for someone to trade with you privately."

"I'm giving you a mission: in the coming days, you must cut off the supply lines of the Japanese in the East China Sea."

"Our Ximen Hall warships will be setting sail soon, and the eight major fleets of the Japanese are our primary targets."

Jack Bonaparte immediately stood up, stood at attention, saluted Chen Jie, and said:
"Yes, sir! I promise to complete the mission!"

Next,
Chen Jie discussed the future development of the fleet with Jack Bonaparte.

Since Jack Bonaparte is an overseas mercenary under Simon's command, he must be paid.

Chen Jie needs to pay Jack Bonaparte 10,000 gold coins every year, which includes the salaries of combat and non-combat personnel.

As for replenishing artillery and shells, Jack Bonaparte needs to exchange them for the supplies he has seized.

That is,

All the mercenary fleet's weapons, shells, personnel, ships, and even armor and supplies can be purchased from Simon Hall at low prices.

Ximen Hall does not tolerate idlers; if you want to gain benefits, you have to offer something in exchange.

Ximentang exchanged this batch of pig iron for cannonballs.

If they manage to snag silver, Ximentang will exchange it for gold coins.

fair enough!
How much Jack Bonaparte's fleet can plunder depends on their abilities.

All spoils of war can be recycled by Simon Hall.

On the surface, the two sides are equals.

but,

Once all the weapons in Jack Bonaparte's fleet were replaced with those of Simondon, Simondon would have his lifeline in his hands.

in addition,

As Chen Jie's mental strength grew stronger, he was able to influence Jack Bonaparte's will.

Jack Bonaparte, being a soldier, quickly understood Chen Jie's intentions.

Simon was essentially his employer, paying him a generous annual salary.

but,

As a mercenary, he had to carry out the plan according to the tasks given to him by Chen Jie.

When loot is collected, Simon will recycle it.

Therefore, this form of cooperation is beneficial to both parties, and Jack Bonaparte naturally agreed with it.

Two days later.

Zhang Dezhi led the supply troops back to Qingzhou, Shandong.

Chen Jie wrote a letter and asked Zhang Dezhi to deliver it to Aunt Thirteen, asking her to arrange for Wan Jinpeng to go to Songjiang Prefecture to be in charge of handing over the pig iron to Jack Bonaparte.

in addition,

The main area of ​​Ximen Hall will be in Jinling in the future, and the arsenal will begin planning to build a second factory in Jinling.

Chen Jie planned to locate the tank and railway manufacturing sites in Nanjing.

This place happens to be the hub connecting the north and south of the Great Qian Dynasty, providing access not only to the western regions but also directly to the East China Sea.

Jack Bonaparte soon returned to Dongji Island.

He was to transport the pig iron and other supplies intercepted in the East China Sea to the dock in Songjiang Prefecture.

At the same time, the cannonballs provided to him by Simon Hall, along with other living supplies, were also loaded onto the warship.

-

Nanjing, Governor's Mansion!
Chen Jie announced to the outside world that he would be going into seclusion to practice martial arts.

Xu Shichang was still transferring troops to eastern Zhejiang, and Chen Jie was also transferring troops to Suzhou Prefecture. He ordered Xiong Chao, who was stationed in Songjiang Prefecture, to gather 50,000 troops, ready to be deployed at any time.

In this campaign to quell the rebellion in eastern Zhejiang, Chen Jie brought only 18,000 troops from Shandong.

The other large forces were all transferred from Songjiang Prefecture.

Rebels, the Great Qian army, Ximen Tang!
All three sides are mobilizing troops, preparing for a major battle at any moment.

but,

For Chen Jie, there was actually nothing to do at this time.

The calm before the storm is the hardest to bear.

After arranging everything, he announced in a secret room in the Governor's Mansion in Nanjing that he would be going into seclusion to practice martial arts.

He took advantage of the few days he had to go back home.

In the backyard of the Nanjing Governor's Mansion, there is a separate, secret room.

Originally, this secret chamber was where Guan Qilin practiced martial arts in seclusion. After handing over the reins to Chen Jie, Guan Qilin led his army back to the capital and went to Shanhaiguan in Hebei to garrison the city.

The situation of the Daqian Dynasty is extremely precarious.

Guan Qilin, a master warrior known as the most powerful general of the Great Qian Dynasty, was stationed at Shanhaiguan, which made the Japanese quite wary of him.

Such a highly skilled fighter could only be killed by a combination of artillery and heavy machine gun fire, trapping him in a blind spot.

otherwise,

Such a master has such a strong sixth sense of danger that ordinary methods cannot threaten his life at all.

Chen Jie decided to use the secret chamber where Guan Qilin was in seclusion as his temporary base for future time travel.

His persona is that of a 'martial arts fanatic,' and he goes into seclusion for several days each time, so no one would suspect anything.

Therefore,
Although the entire Jiangnan region was in turmoil, with war breaking out everywhere.

However, when Chen Jie announced his seclusion, no one, including all the elites of Ximen Hall, was surprised.

Chen Jie's martial arts skills became stronger and stronger. Everyone knew that the young master was a martial arts fanatic, and his martial arts progressed by leaps and bounds.

It's perfectly normal for him to go into seclusion to practice martial arts; it would be suspicious if he didn't.

After entering the secret room of the Governor's Mansion in Jinling, Chen Jie locked the stone door from the inside.

He didn't plan to bring anything with him when he went back this time.

Although the remaining value of the Blood Dragon Jade [Martial Arts Merit Points] in his mind exceeded 650,000.

but,

Once the resonance of the [Martial Saint Sect] is activated, it costs one million each time.

We absolutely cannot waste it.

not to mention,
The things he wanted to move were in Qingzhou, Shandong, and the main altar in the capital.

Nothing else is worth moving.

Since he broke through to the 'Iron Bone Dark Strength Great Perfection' realm and at the same time broke through to the 'Guardian Aperture Mid-stage' realm in the Refining Spirit realm, he had a vague intuition.

for the rest of the time,

He was likely to face assassination attempts from top experts of the Green Gang, Taiping, and Red Lantern gangs.

That's right,

Matters of the martial world should be settled within the martial world itself!
Ximen Tang has already clashed with the Green Gang and other Jianghu forces, aiming to dominate the entire Jianghu.

Therefore, in addition to the powerful firepower of Ximentang, they also need the ability to protect themselves.

in addition,

In eastern Zhejiang, there is also Ximentang's mortal enemy—the Japanese Black Dragon Society!

Therefore, Chen Jie was eager to improve his combat power again.

As long as one's martial arts level can break through to the 'Marrow Transformation and Energy Transformation' level, and at the same time break through to the 'Late Stage of Guarding the Apertures' level of Refining the Spirit!
Then,

He was confident he could defeat the 'Blood Pill Master'.

Yang Xihe, the leader of the Caobang Gang, was a master of the Blood Pill Technique.

Chen Jie met Yang Xihe the last time he returned to Shandong from Hanzhong.

He had sparred with Yang Xihe and knew that a master of the Blood Pill Force was someone he couldn't possibly defeat.

Without comprehending the 'power of transforming internal energy', it is impossible to break through the defense of a Dan Jin expert.

Since defeating Sarutobi Sasaki, a Black Dragon Society ninja who had reached the Great Perfection of Internal Energy, Chen Jie has been training diligently.

He not only sparred with Linghu Qiannian to solidify his strength, but also sparred with several top masters of the Canal Gang while in Shandong.

for the rest of the time,

Ximen Tang will strike at the heart of the rebels' stronghold in Hangzhou.

Chen Jie believed that with the military strength and weaponry of Songjiang Prefecture, they were capable of sweeping away the rebels in eastern Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu.

Everything is ready.

A mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

[Consumes 100 Martial Arts Merit Points!]

[Blood Dragon Jade activated, Martial Saint Gate opened!]

hum!
A red light appeared.

Chen Jie stepped into the rotating [Martial Saint Gate] and disappeared into the secret chamber.

After a bout of dizziness, he returned to the chemical plant warehouse.

As usual, let's check the phone information first.

No one called, only Lao Yu left a WeChat message.

The global underground boxing betting "Beast Mode" has been activated.

A cornered beast's desperate struggle!

North America's Las Vegas: The ultimate showdown!

Thirty-two boxing rings around the world, after five rounds of points battles, determined thirty-two top fighters who would then enter the final showdown!
A battle to the death!
The world's top-tier underground boxing match, a SS-level life-or-death showdown.

This is a game for the bravest in the global underground boxing arena, where only one person can survive the entire 'battle of the trapped beasts'.

Nine deaths!
That's right,

This is not an ordinary S-class life-or-death battle, but the top-tier SS-class.

Global dark web live streaming!

(1 human + 1 beast) VS (1 human + 1 beast)!

Each participating boxer will be drawn by lot before stepping into the octagon.

There are ten numbers in total, representing ten ferocious beasts.

Each boxer can draw a wild beast to be their partner.

This is not a chaotic battle, but a life-or-death struggle of wits and courage, where luck accounts for more than 50% in addition to strength.

If, before the start of the competition, you draw the top-tier Siberian tiger or the enraged rhinoceros, while your opponent draws a weaker beast like a wild dog.

Then,

He didn't even need to fight; he could simply send the Northeast Tiger into battle, which would instantly kill both the man and the beast, allowing him to easily advance.

Therefore, drawing lots is very important.

This is a 'fight of beasts,' and also a life-or-death battle.

Old Yu completed all the formalities and paid the deposit.

After the underground boxing tournament in South America, known as "Hellblood," Chen Jie asked Lao Yu to arrange boxing matches in North America.

He is now Chen Jie's right-hand man.

Everyone in the mountain stronghold, including Wenrou, Shouhou, and Gouxiong, followed Chen Jie's lead.

Old Yu is very efficient. He has already found a seller for the tank production line that Chen Jie asked him to provide last time.

There are not many countries in the world that can manufacture advanced tanks, but there are production lines for old tanks in many countries.

Chen Jie didn't have high requirements for the tank's performance, so as long as the price was right, he could find a seller.

of course,

Chen Jie has never treated Lao Yu and the others unfairly.

He now treats everyone in the village as one of his own.

He not only gave everyone in the village a very generous salary, but also invested heavily in construction, arming the entire border valley to the teeth.

of course,

Chen Jie left an indelible mark on the minds of everyone in the village.

Almost everyone regarded Chen Jie as their faith.

In many people's homes, statues of Chen Jie are enshrined and worshipped.

In the entire Kokang region, Lao Yu's current influence is far greater than that of General Kun Soe, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Kokang Old Street Boxing Stadium.

In the Kokang region, Lao Yu recruited more than two thousand men, becoming a leading local armed force.

Money makes things easier!
Even General Kunsuo had to be very polite to Lao Yu.

In Southeast Asia, whoever has the biggest fist is right.

With Chen Jie's massive financial backing, recruiting talent was a piece of cake for Lao Yu.

This time, accompanying Chen Jie to North America, Lao Yu was not as confident as before, but rather filled with worry.

Beast Fighting Mode!

This is completely different from the nature of boxing!
A moment's carelessness could mean certain death under the claws of a wild beast!
