Regarding the matter of sending troops to support the Yueyang Front Army to resist the military alliance of the twenty-four beast countries, the thirteen senior officials of the Great Qin Ministry of Defense did not agree on it, otherwise they would not have delayed sending reinforcements, and at this time, almost a month had passed since the establishment of the military alliance of the beast countries.

Zhou Botao, chief of the general staff, said in a deep voice: "According to the exact information obtained by the intelligence department, now the Yueyang Front Army has more than 30 million army and tens of thousands of fighters, and also has a naval fleet with good strength, even if the twenty-four beast countries form a military alliance, it will be difficult to defeat the Yueyang Front Army in a short time, and our Ministry of Defense only has more than 6 million army troops in its hands, once the loss of these more than 6 million army troops is too great, then we can't do it even if we want to be in a corner of peace." ”

Zhou Botao, chief of the General Staff, has always been in opposition to the Yueyang Front, hoping that the more than 6 million army troops under the Ministry of National Defense can preserve their strength and play a role in containing the Yueyang Front, otherwise the authority of the Great Qin State will inevitably fall into the hands of Su Yi without any suspense.

Vice Minister Zhao Zeling immediately said in a cold voice: "Chief of General Staff Zhou, now this war with the military alliance of the beast nation is even related to the future of our entire human race, at this time, don't keep some personal grievances in mind, we should focus on the overall situation of our entire human race." ”

In order to secretly win over the generals under Su Yi, Zhou Botao, chief of the General Staff, sent many henchmen of the Zhou family, but these henchmen were all shot by Su Yi, which made the chief of the general staff Zhou Botao and Su Yi have a deep grudge.

Zhao Zeling's words immediately made the eyes of Zhou Botao, the chief of the General Staff, stand up, "Zhao Zeling, what do you mean by this?" I'm thinking about our thirteen factions here, and now our thirteen factions should preserve their strength and step up the reorganization of more troops, otherwise our thirteen factions are likely to be swallowed by Su Yi in one bite! ”

Although the troops now subordinate to the Ministry of Defense of Great Qin have retreated to the four provinces in the southeastern region, the control of the thirteen factions of the Great Qin military over the Great Qin army has not weakened in the slightest.

In addition to the more than 6 million army forces, the army now subordinate to the Ministry of National Defense of Daqin also has more than 100 fighters of the Daqin Air Force and dozens of warships of the Daqin Navy, and the dozens of warships of the Daqin Navy are basically torpedo boats and gunboats.

The corners of Vice Minister Zhao Zeling's mouth twitched slightly, "The more than six million army units subordinate to our Ministry of Defense are so weak in combat effectiveness, I think everyone here must know very well that if Su Yi wants to seize the authority of the Great Qin State, what role can it play just by relying on the more than six million army troops in the hands of our Ministry of Defense who lack guns and ammunition!" It's better to show Su Yi the goodwill of our thirteen factions now, and when the Great Qin Kingdom really falls into Su Yi's hands, presumably Su Yi won't do too much to our thirteen factions. ”

Shi Zhigang, one of the six vice ministers of the Ministry of National Defense, then sighed and said: "I think Vice Minister Zhao's words are very reasonable, although I don't know how Su Yi did it, but now the strength of the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi can even compete with the twenty-four beast countries, with more than six million army troops in the hands of our Ministry of Defense, it is impossible to prevent the Yueyang Front Army from seizing the four provinces of Nanjiang, Puyang, Nanchuan, and Lingnan in the southeast, and now our Ministry of Defense is sending troops to support the Yueyang Front, on the one hand, for the sake of the entire human race, Another aspect can also convey to Su Yi the goodwill of our thirteen factions. ”

Yan Degang, one of the five deputy chiefs of general staff of the Ministry of National Defense, then snorted coldly and said: "The intelligence also said above, now that the Yueyang Front Army has more than 30 million army troops, where can we look at the army with millions of backward weapons and equipment in the hands of our Ministry of Defense, don't put a hot face on your cold ass when the time comes." ”

Among the thirteen senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense, Yan Degang and Su Yi had the greatest contradiction, in order to secretly buy the generals under Su Yi's command, Yan Degang sent his three sons out, but in the end, Yan Degang's third son was killed by Su Yi on the charge of being a spy in the Ice Lion Country, and the revenge of killing the son made Yan Degang want to eat Su Yi alive, if it weren't for the fact that other factions warned Yan Degang before, indicating that the Great Qin State still needs Su Yi to lead troops to resist the invasion of the Ice Lion Country, Yan Degang would have wanted to send someone to assassinate Su Yi.

At this high-level meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, just like last time, several high-ranking officials who supported sending troops to support the Yueyang Front Army quarreled endlessly with several high-ranking officials who opposed troops to support the Yueyang Front, and neither side could be convinced.

Defense Minister Liu Fuchen looked at the incompatible senior officials on both sides, couldn't help rubbing his temples, and then said: "Okay! Everyone, don't quarrel, if you continue to quarrel like this, it will be impossible to quarrel with a result, I think it is better to vote! Do you have any opinions on the fact that the minority obeys the majority? ”

Zhou Botao, chief of the General Staff, immediately objected and said: "Now there are only four people who oppose sending troops, and the vote is not fair at all!" ”

Vice Minister Zhao Zeling immediately retorted: "Chief of General Staff Zhou, many of the resolutions of our previous high-level meetings of the Ministry of National Defense were voted on, which is also the tradition of our Ministry of National Defense, why is it unfair now?" ”

Minister of National Defense Liu Fuchen immediately said categorically: "It has been decided, and now those who agree to send troops to support the Yueyang Front Army, please raise your hand." ”

As soon as Liu Fuchen's words fell, Zhao Zeling, Shi Zhigang and other eight people raised their hands, and then Liu Fuchen raised his hands and said: "Since there are nine people who agree to send troops, then let's study how many army troops to send to support the Yueyang Front!" ”

Zhou Botao, chief of the General Staff, and the other three senior officials who have always opposed the dispatch of troops looked at each other, and could only shake their heads helplessly, just as Vice Minister Zhao Zeling said, voting has always been a tradition of high-level meetings of the Ministry of National Defense, and since things that have been voted on must be carried out.

After discussion among thirteen senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense, it was decided to send sixty armies to support the Yueyang Front Army and assist the Yueyang Front Army in opposing the military alliance of the twenty-four beast countries.

At present, the army units subordinate to the Ministry of National Defense of Daqin are still in accordance with the regular establishment of the Daqin Army, with each army having about 50,000 people, and 60 armies are almost 3 million army units.

After the high-level meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, Defense Minister Liu Fuchen returned to his office, and at this time, in Liu Fuchen's office, Cai Yongchang, the current president of the Great Qin State, was waiting for Liu Fuchen.

"Minister Liu, has the resolution to support the Yueyang Front Army been passed?" President Cai Yongchang asked urgently.

Liu Fuchen nodded and said, "It has been passed, and the Ministry of Defense has decided that sixty full armies will be sent to the front line to resist the military alliance of the beast nations." ”

President Cai Yongchang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that it is passed, and then the government will immediately contact the Yueyang Front Army to discuss various matters related to sending troops." ”

Liu Fuchen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Excellency, I don't understand why the government is trying its best to promote the support of the Yueyang Front Army?" ”

President Cai Yongchang said with a wry smile: "Minister Liu, our government's finances are almost bankrupt, with the taxes of the four southeastern provinces, it is simply not possible to support more than 6 million troops, plus the continuous plunge of Qin Yuan, even the people of Nanjiang, Puyang, Nanchuan, and Lingnan provinces only recognize the military tickets printed by the Yueyang Front Army, and the government will discuss with the Yueyang Front Army next, and the Yueyang Front Army will bear all the expenses of the 60 armies." ”

With the successive victories of the Yueyang Front on the battlefield, the military tickets issued by the Yueyang Front Army have completely replaced the Qin Yuan issued by the Great Qin State Government in the control area of the Yueyang Front Army.

In the four provinces of Nanjiang, Puyang, Nanchuan, and Lingnan, which the government of the Great Qin State can currently control, Qin Yuan is almost like waste paper, and the people of the four provinces have almost returned to the era of barter, and only gold, silver, and military tickets issued by the Yueyang Front Army can be used as currency to buy things in the four provinces of Nanjiang, Puyang, Nanchuan, and Lingnan.

Even the salaries of the army units subordinate to the Ministry of Defense were paid in silver or grain.

The reason why the military tickets issued by the Yueyang Front Army can be very strong is also because Su Yi transported a large amount of gold and silver from the Tang Empire and the Han Kingdom to the world on the side of the Great Qin State, and the military tickets issued by the Yueyang Front Army can be directly exchanged for gold and silver at will in various banks in the area controlled by the Yueyang Front Army.

Liu Fuchen frowned and asked, "Is the government's finances really so difficult?" ”

President Cai Yongchang sighed and said: "Anyway, next month, the government will not be able to give a little real money to the Ministry of Defense, of course, if the Ministry of Defense is willing to ask for Qin Yuan, it will be no problem to give billions of dollars." ”

Liu Fuchen shook his head and said: "Qin Yuan is already like waste paper, even if it is useless to give us tens of billions of dollars to the Ministry of Defense, it seems that we can only hope that the Yueyang Front Army can help our Ministry of Defense solve part of the military expenses, otherwise, with the food reserves of our Ministry of Defense, we can not hold on to more than six million army troops, and we will not be able to hold out for two months, as for the salaries of more than six million army troops, the Ministry of Defense has been in arrears for more than half a year." ”

President Cai Yongchang pondered for a while and said: "The government still has some grain reserves in its hands, and if it is only in charge of the rations of more than 3 million army officers and soldiers, it can support it for three or four months, but when discussing the issue of sending troops with the Yueyang Front Army this time, the government hopes that the Yueyang Front Army will better take over the military expenditure of all army units of the Ministry of National Defense, and even ...... Take over all the expenses of our government departments. ”

Liu Fuchen was slightly stunned, "Your Excellency, there is no free lunch in the world, once the Yueyang Front Army takes over the military expenditure of more than six million army units of our Ministry of Defense, as well as all the expenditures of government departments, it means that we will hand over the authority of the Great Qin State to Su Yi." ”

President Cai Yongchang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Minister Liu, now that the Yueyang Front Army has grown into a towering tree, what is the use of us holding on?" As long as Su Yi wants the authority of the Great Qin State, how can the thirteen factions of your military and me, the president, stop it? ”

Liu Fuchen shook his head helplessly and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, if Su Yi wants the entire Great Qin State, our Ministry of Defense really has no way to stop it, but just give the Great Qin Country to Su Yi, I am really unwilling, and there must be more people who will not be willing." ”

President Cai Yongchang sighed again, "If you want to say that you are unwilling, I, the president, are the most unwilling, but what can you do if you are unwilling?" I, as president, will not be able to make real money, unless the Ministry of Defense reduces the army force from more than 6 million to 300,000, and our government can barely maintain it for a while. ”

Liu Fuchen said with a wry smile: "Now in the southeast region, there are still hundreds of thousands of army troops of the Ice Lion Country, where can we reduce the strength of our Great Qin Army on a large scale at this time!" ”

President Cai Yongchang then said: "Now we can only rely on the Yueyang Front, no matter what, Su Yi is a person from our Great Qin State after all, and if the Great Qin State is handed over to him, at least the Great Qin State is still the Great Qin State, anyway, our government's finances cannot afford to support more than six million troops under the Ministry of National Defense." ”

When President Chua Yong-chang returned to the temporary presidential palace in Jinju City, Vice President Ri Kyung-wei was waiting for him in his office.

"President, how's it going over at the Department of Defense?" Vice President Li Qingwei asked urgently.

President Cai Yongchang nodded and said: "The resolution to support the Yueyang Front has been passed, and the Ministry of Defense is ready to send sixty armies to the front line, you can contact the Yueyang Front, don't forget to let the Yueyang Front prepare the remaining eighty tons of gold, and buy the entire Great Qin State with one hundred tons of gold, this deal, Su Yi has made a lot of money." ”

Su Yi was not prepared to use force against the government of the Great Qin State and the millions of army units subordinate to the Great Qin Ministry of Defense.

Of course, after the Yueyang Front Army has developed to such a scale, especially the clones and cyborgs under Su Yi's command, after they can access the world on the side of the Great Qin Kingdom through the Star Gate, Su Yi will definitely control the authority of the entire Great Qin Kingdom.

And to control the entire Great Qin State, it is impossible to avoid the current government of the Great Qin State, which still occupies the four provinces in the southeast region, and the millions of army units subordinate to the Ministry of Defense.

At the beginning, Su Yi used 40 tons of gold to buy President Cai Yongchang and Vice President Li Qingwei, and with the help of these two people, he took over Lushan Province and Xiling Province in the central region from the Ministry of National Defense.

This time, the intelligence bureau under Su Yi contacted President Cai Yongchang and Vice President Li Qingwei, and promised them that if they could cooperate with the Yueyang Front to take over the more than 6 million army units of Nanjiang, Puyang, Nanchuan, and Lingnan provinces in the southeast region, as well as the Ministry of National Defense, the Yueyang Front would give 50 tons of gold to each of them.

After President Tsai Yongchang and Vice President Li Qingwei agreed, the Intelligence Bureau immediately paid 10 tons of gold to each of them as a deposit.

Vice President Li Qingwei immediately showed a hint of excitement and said: "Next, I will have specific consultations with the people of the Yueyang Front Army to see how to let the Yueyang Front Army absorb the more than six million army of the Ministry of Defense as soon as possible, as for the remaining eighty tons of gold, presumably Su Yi will not regret it, and he can buy the entire Great Qin State with a hundred tons of gold, presumably Su Yi must be very satisfied." ”
