The former cabinet building on the left side of the imperial capital of Kaval Fort, now the Imperial Military Aircraft Department.

In the separate office of the First Minister of the Empire, Sir Fred Nett, the new Minister of War, Sir Fred Nett, reports on the pre-war preparations of the Imperial Military Department.

To be honest, for Sira Marne, she felt that the work of Sir Fred Naito, the abbot of the Imperial Military Department, was really a mess, at least for now. However, due to the fact that the Military Aircraft Department has no power to directly intervene in the ministries, coupled with the suppression of the imperial power, Sira Marne can only hide her dissatisfaction in her heart.

Of course, if Sira Marne forcibly interferes with the affairs of the military department, Fred Neto can only follow orders, but it is undoubtedly stupid to do so, and Sira Marne, although upright, is not stupid.

"The recruits assembled by the battalion of the Eloke Leader have already begun training, and they will be able to form combat effectiveness in five months, and various cities, villages and towns in the empire have also set up corresponding militia regiments and recruited young and middle-aged people for training, according to the statistics of various places, there are nearly two million soldiers registered in the empire, and nearly 200,000 can be put into war at any time. Fred was slow to report this, because Sira Marne's face had been blackened, making him speak with a hint of nervousness, "Even the ordnance and equipment promised by the Ministry of Finance has not been heard from yet. ”

"The Ministry of Finance has not granted any requests in this regard. When the Chancellor of the Exchequer Derick Danny heard this, he immediately interjected: "Ordnance is a national weapon, and the five smelting workshops in the imperial capital are nominally regulated by the Ministry of Finance, but we do not have the power to directly order the production of ordnance. ”

"Then you'd rather submit an application report to Your Majesty!" Fred glanced at Derick Danny, who was sitting next to him, "You can't let me apply, right?"

"You do need to apply on your own. Derick Danny shrugged, "You don't even know this, do you?"

"As early as two years ago, His Majesty the Emperor issued a special decree..."Prime Minister Bipp had an intriguing smile on his face: "A decree on the production of ordnance and equipment, the decree stipulates that the amount of weapons and equipment produced by the state needs to be applied for by the Ministry of War, and then submitted to the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance for verification and approval, and then handed over to His Majesty for personal inspection. ”

Bipp looked down on Fred-Neto, who was born as a mercenary, and he couldn't help but want to suppress it when he looked at the general's medal in the opponent's military uniform.

Fred Netto's cheeks flushed, "According to the Imperial Wartime Decree, during the all-out war, the Military Aircraft Division has the authority to deal with this matter. ”

The smile on Bipp's face was even more obvious, "Your Majesty is now on the front line to personally direct this war, and the transmission device produced by the Iruk City National Laboratory can allow you to reach the front line in half a day, and you may be able to talk to Your Majesty in person." ”

"Two million soldiers' quota equipment, you really dare to ask for it!" Derick Danny grinned, "maybe I should tell His Majesty the Emperor what you requested." He turned his head to meet Fred-Netto's eyes, "What do you think His Majesty the Emperor will think?"

"His Majesty the Emperor's order to the military department clearly states that the arming and training of the Imperial Reserve Forces, including the Militia Regiment, must be completed within half a year!" said Ferred-Netto, "I am just following His Majesty's orders. ”

"You're all enough. Silah-Marne's fingers tapped lightly on her desk. Although she spoke in a very soft tone, the three ministers of military aircraft did not dare to say anything more when they heard this.

"Your Majesty has decided that it will counterattack the undead legion in the next month, and the Ordnance Bureau's priority supply can only be the front line, as for the equipment of the reserve troops..."Sira Marne's eyes glanced at Derick and Fred, and finally looked at Fred and said: "The military department only needs to provide the equipment supply of the Eloke Leader's battalion, and as for the militia regiments formed in other cities and villages, they will be handed over to the garrison department to deal with." ”

Fred frowned, "The garrison simply can't afford it on its own..."

"The militia is not a regular army, weapons and equipment only need to be supplied by local governments, they do not need to bear the responsibility of the war, they only need to maintain a minimum of training attrition. Sira Marne unceremoniously interrupted what Fred was about to say, "Moreover, I believe that the Minister of Garrison, Viscount Geerbke Donna, can take on the responsibility entrusted to him by His Majesty and manage the garrison well. ”

"But..."

"Say no more!" "Sirah-Marne's voice increased slightly, "this matter is here first, and now we will talk about another matter." Her gaze skimmed over the faces of the three people in front of her desk, "The Undead Legion has been building ports and warships in the coastal area northwest of Cook Town for half a month ago. ”

"In the future, we will also need to fight a protracted naval battle against the undead legions in the Yekgar Inland Sea. Sira Marne said as she pulled out a document from a drawer, "Your Majesty asks us to strengthen the construction of the navy as soon as possible, and before the undead legion navy has formed combat effectiveness, unite the navies of the Misha Kingdom and the Elven Kingdom to combat the maritime activities of the undead legion, and completely blockade the Yekger Inner Sea and the entire southern sea!"

Bipp looked a little nervous when he heard Sirah Marne's words, although the construction of the dockyard assigned to him by His Majesty had progressed, it was still a long way from His Majesty's request.

"Sir Bipp, you have compiled a report on the construction of the dockyard, and in three days His Majesty will hear your report himself. Silah-Marne pushed the document in her hand under Bipp's eyelids, stared at the old man and said, "A word of advice to you, there are many people who are staring at the position of prime minister of the government, don't believe the words of the local nobles, they will lead you into the abyss." ”

"The most important thing for the Empire at the moment is the war with the undead legions. Sira Marne leaned back, leaning back in her office chair and looking down at Bipp, "In Your Majesty's battle plan, future naval battles are just as important as the wars in Felder Territory, and those local moths are destroying Your Majesty's plans, have you thought about the consequences of covering them up?"

"I didn't try to shield anyone, it's not what you think. Bipp sighed, as a traditional noble family in Crewe City, family relationships spread throughout the empire, and some things can't be explained clearly in a sentence or two.

"Do you know why Knight Don Wright didn't enter the military aircraft after Baron Hannina was persuaded to retire?" "The warning in Siarla Marne's tone grew stronger, "In the future, the police department will only be responsible for His Majesty alone, and they will not care about the thoughts of the military aircraft!"

Sir Bipp's face changed slightly when he heard Sir Marne's words, and he subconsciously stood up, and after a long silence under Sira Marne's warning gaze, he whispered, "I will carefully sort out this report." ”

"Good!" said a thoughtful smile on Sirah-Marne's face, she didn't want the prime minister's government to change, because Bipp was sometimes too old-fashioned and always tangled in the family's intricate web of relationships. However, at present, the empire is in a critical period and it is not easy to change the prime minister, and the reason why His Majesty the Emperor conveyed the order to the military aircraft instead of directly to Bipp was also based on this consideration.

"What else do you need to report?" Sirah-Marne looked at Fred and Derrick, but before they could speak, she continued, "Since there is nothing to say, let me do this today, I still have to go to see Her Majesty." She said and stood up, "By the way, there is one more thing, in two days, the three local government ministers of Harrence Collar, Bean Collar and Herion Collar will arrive in the imperial capital to meet Her Majesty the Empress, don't blame me for not warning you, before they meet Her Majesty the Empress, you... And those below you, it's better not to go to them. ”
