That is, a bowl of millet porridge, it took Tang Zude a full fifteen minutes to eat it slowly.

It dragged on for so long to calm everyone down.

From early morning to now, the navy and the army, as well as the ministers divided into two factions, have quarreled all the time, and they are almost fists and teeth.

What is at stake is not the scale of disarmament, but the time limit, the duration of arms limitations.

In the words of Don Zud, it is not necessary for the empire to speak out, but the powers of the allied bloc will not agree to the disarmament plan proposed by President Nuland.

Without troops, how can we defend the war dividends that have just arrived?

Do not forget that the enemies of the Great Powers are not only other Powers, but also the rebel forces of the colonies and even the exploited classes at home. Even if the contradictions between the great powers no longer exist, they must maintain a strong enough military force to protect core interests spread across the globe.

Then again, if you don't have enough military strength, why are you called a great power?

For hundreds of years, no power, whether it was an old empire or an emerging industrial power, was blown out of the mouth of an idealist!

The Nuland Federation is no exception.

As a result, the time limit for arms limitation has become a key topic.

In this regard, the army insisted on a ten-year period, while the navy believed that it should be extended to twenty years.

The difference between ten years and twenty years is not only a period of time, but also the number in the article, but the overall strategy of the empire!

If it is ten years, it will be necessary to put the army first and implement the strategy of going north and westward; Make sure that in the next big battle, you can sweep through the entire huge continent at lightning speed; Defeat the huge land opponent before the other powers complete their war mobilization, and advance the battle line to the Western Continent and the Xuan Continent. Wait until the situation on the ground battlefield has been consolidated, and then turn the focus to the seas and compete with the great powers for control of the seas.

There is no doubt that at the heart of this strategy is land power.

The twenty-year program is the opposite.

In a period of 20 years, there will be enough time to rebuild the navy, and the overall strategy of going south to the Fanyan Ocean and the east to the Guia Ocean can be adopted; Make sure you can control the surrounding areas after a major war, keep the main resource sources, and build a defensive barrier around the empire mainland. After consolidating the basic game, and then based on sea power, steadily push outward, and defeat the opponents encountered one by one.

At the heart of this strategy is sea power.

Rationally speaking, the latter is definitely more secure.

The Army's strategy was actually an all-or-nothing bet, betting all on the blitzkrieg in the early stages of the war.

Although the commander-in-chief of the army clearly mentioned that with new technologies, the army was expected to work miracles in the next war, Marshal Ma Zhongyi clearly forgot about the fact that a few years ago, the army also believed that it would be able to defeat the Luosha Empire in a few months.

Even towards the end of the war, the army was still emphasizing that it could defeat the Luosha Empire in a matter of months.

At the beginning, it was because he failed to defeat the Luosha Empire as planned and fell into the quagmire of a war of attrition, which caused the war to get out of control.

On the other hand, if the army had won a big victory after the war, the war would have ended in two years.

In fact, the naval program has similar problems.

Because the construction period of the Navy is longer, twenty years is not sufficient at all.

Interestingly, Zhu Shijian also emphasized new technologies.

As a result, Ma Zhongyi seized on this issue, believing that the naval program was also a desperate gamble, and that it might not be able to defeat the great powers in 20 years.

It's just that Zhu Shijian didn't emphasize a quick victory.

With the navy's plan, even if it wins a big victory in the early stage of the war and seizes the strategic initiative in one fell swoop, it will need to fight steadily, spend enough time, pay a huge enough price, and even go through repeated fierce battles before it can defeat all the great powers and achieve the final victory.

In addition, the naval program does not rely too much on allies.

There is another point, Zhu Shijian didn't say it at all.

If the navy's routine is completely followed, the period of strategic planning will not be 20 years, preferably 30 years, and at least 25 years.

As far as policymakers are concerned, it is clear that the question of whether they will be able to face and accept this cruel future is a big question.

After arguing all day, everyone was tired.

After Tang Zude put down the dishes and chopsticks, the conference room fell silent.

"Is everyone full? When we're full, let's move on. ”

No one answered, everyone heard it, Shousuke's tone was obviously a little impatient, with Tang Zude's character, he couldn't tell when it would break out.

"After a day of noisy fighting, I didn't come up with a reason. If you want me to say, if you continue to quarrel, you may not be able to quarrel with a result. Tang Zude's gaze swept over the faces of more than a dozen wartime cabinet members one by one. I think everybody gave in, and that's it. ”

Let's take a step!?

At this moment, more than a dozen cabinet members all showed surprised looks.

How can a major event related to the national honor be such a child's play!?

It's just that Tang Zude didn't give others a chance to speak.

"For a period of 15 years, both the army and navy will redraw their strategic development plans, which will be submitted before the end of the month at the latest, and the rest will be discussed separately."

"Shoufu ......"

"Marshal Ma Zhongyi, do you have any objections?"

Tang Zude suddenly lowered his face, and his tone became more subdued, Ma Zhongyi chuckled in his heart, closed his mouth, and glanced at the commander-in-chief of the navy opposite.

Ma Zhongyi is not stupid, he has already smelled danger.

Don't forget that Zhou Kuande is still lying in a bed at the Navy General Hospital.

Zhou Kuande's shot not only freed himself, but also fished up the navy.

What do you mean?

He was all in the hospital and lying down, did the generals of the main battle faction in the navy still dare to scream? The following is honest, and Zhu Shijian has done a lot better.

But what about the Army?

If someone really needs to endorse the defeat, it must be Ma Zhongyi.

"Zhu Principal, do you have any comments?" Tang Zude also looked at Zhu Shijian.

Before entering politics, Tang Zude was also a naval officer, to be precise, he entered politics after retiring from the navy, and was a graduate of the Naval Academy.

Of course, he is not a student of Zhu Shijian, because he is a few years older than Zhu Shijian.

"The Navy will submit it as soon as possible."

"That's good!" Tang Zude nodded slightly, and said: "This matter is so decided, if there is nothing else, it will end here today." ”

Zhu Shijian sighed secretly, Tang Zude seemed to be going to make a big move.

"In the end, I would like to stress again." Tang Zude knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention. "Although the flames of this war are about to be extinguished, we all know that the war will never end there. Again, where you fall, you get up. Ten years from now, or twenty years from now, when the flames of war are rekindled, the empire will face a test of life and death. Whether we can win the next great war, whether we can create a stable environment for our children and grandchildren, and whether we can go to Jiuquan to meet our ancestors with a clear conscience depends on whether we can fulfill our duties and fulfill our obligations as subjects of the empire in the next ten years. Colleagues and ministers, I have always believed that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties together and rebuild our glory! ”

"Recast Glory!"

Don't look at the cabinet members are all old men around sixty years old, when they shout loudly, they are all full of energy.

The empire will surely be able to recast its glory!
