A person has to wonder if these are those that are spoken of here.

Revelation 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

As far as I know China has been the only nation on earth to make the brag that they could field an army of 200 million.

They could field an army of 200,000,000--for a very brief period.

It would be something to behold. The Chinese would have to conduct their campaigning between rice harvests--for the first time since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the concept of a "campaigning season" would reenter the military lexicon.

Would China be undone as Harald Godwinson was--and for the same reasons? (i.e., having to dismiss the troops so they could go home and harvest their crops)
