Looking at Lan Guogong, Situ Dongye nodded slightly and said, "Lan Guogong, what basis do you have?" ”

Lan Guogong immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the border army is to guard the border and guard the country, if there is one point less, it will have to guard a section of the star field." Then the border of our Poseidon Empire will also become a fishing net full of loopholes, which can be allowed to enter and exit at will, so that enemy agents can enter and exit at will, and smuggling at home and abroad will be rampant, causing a huge impact on enterprises and factories within the empire. There are even more ill-intentioned people who can give weapons and warships to the mob to form a rebel army. When the time comes, the war will spread throughout the empire, how can there be a peaceful and prosperous era now, and the world will be stable? ”

As soon as these words came out, they could be described as alarmist, but they made people have to be moved and fearful.

After all, what the emperor cares about most is the stability of the empire, and if there is a rebellion and an enemy invasion, it will be the last thing a monarch wants to see.

At this time, the military ministers who supported Lan Guogong also wrote to ask for performance.

Of course, the civil servants behind Fang Chongwei were naturally not to be outdone, and immediately wrote to ask for a performance.

Both sides insisted on their own words, both of which made sense, and Situ Dongye, as the emperor, was difficult to make a decision for a while.

When Su Yu saw this scene, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, this emperor is really difficult, although the power is great, but the responsibility is also great.

However, Su Yu has been to Tianweixing and knows what the state of the border army is, and it is completely the cradle of the nobles to cultivate the children of the family. Really talking about how many battles have been fought and what combat effectiveness there is, that's complete nonsense.

Moreover, according to Su Yu's investigation, there are 300,000 transport ships in Tianweixing's million-strong army alone, and the salaries of other fleets will be deducted by 20%, and the rest of the military expenses will all go into the pockets of Lan Guogong and his family's children.

There are 150,000 galaxies controlled by Lan Guogong, and if this is the case in every galaxy, it can be seen how much empty salary he has to eat every year and how much amethyst he has to take from the Seagod Empire.

Therefore, the plan for disarmament and army reorganization advocated by Fang Chongwen is actually feasible, especially the establishment of the eight military regions, which can definitely deter the surrounding universe empires.

However, Lan Haitian relied on the fact that the emperor had never gone out, and he was alarmist, and he actually said that Situ Dongye hesitated.

Of course, as the monarch of a cosmic super empire, Situ Dongye also has his own way of ruling, that is, to play fifty boards each and let them back down on their own.

Situ Dongye first glared at Lan Guogong and said, "Lan Guogong, I know what you said, but you dare to say that there is no phenomenon of empty salary?" On your eastern border, the number of warships is really 150 billion? ”

"This ...... Your Majesty, these are the generals of the empire in management, and the old minister is just responsible for coordinating the overall situation, if there is any untruth, the old minister will definitely investigate it carefully after he goes back! Lan Guogong hurriedly shirked the responsibility cleanly.

"Hmph, what did you do earlier! Since some people eat empty salaries, it means that the number of warships is not true, and it is reasonable to cut some numbers! Situ Dongye said sternly.

"Yes, the old minister must be strictly investigated when he goes back, and if there is any untruth, he must be severely punished by military law and reported to the military department!" Lan Guogong hurriedly bowed and said.

"Okay, I'll give you ten days to reduce 10 billion warships!" Situ Dongye directly issued the Golden Mouth Jade Order.

"The old minister obeys!" Lan Guogong had no choice but to nod and accept his fate.

Then, Situ Dongye looked at Fang Chongwen again, and said equally sternly: "Fang Aiqing, your disarmament strategy is very correct, but it is too much, and it involves the issue of the military department's military region reorganization, and it has exceeded its authority, you are guilty!" ”

"The old minister is guilty!" Fang Chongwen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down as well.

"Well, for your sake of serving the country, you will be punished for half a year!" Situ said lightly on a winter night.

Fang Chongwen hurriedly replied solemnly: "The old minister is willing to order punishment!" ”

But Fang Chongwen didn't care in his heart, half a year's income didn't matter at all, and his income didn't come from this.

Of course, everyone also knows that His Majesty the Emperor beat Fang Chongwen's fifty boards not for half a year, but for reducing the number of disarmaments of the Duke of Lan.

In this way, although Lan Guogong wants to cut the battleship army of 10 billion warships, it will still not hurt the fundamentals, and the annual military expenditure is still frighteningly high.

Next, Situ Dongye asked for at least one-third of the disarmament of the border princes, which was five or six times more than that of the blue princes.

Those princes of the country, one by one, were like frosted eggplants, and their faces were extremely ugly.

After this while, although Fang Chongwen did not achieve the best results expected, it can be regarded as a phased victory.

But next, whether these princes and military generals will act according to the order is two words.

For example, if you create a little war and let other empires attack it, then most of the disarmament plan will be aborted.

Therefore, although the bigwigs of the military department verbally agreed, in fact they did not think so, and they had already thought of countermeasures.

And under Fang Chongwen's provocation like this, they will also usher in their retaliation, and as long as Fang Chongwen makes a slight mistake, all kinds of twists and turns and bullets will inevitably follow. Moreover, his protégés and former officials will also be excluded by the military department and directly kicked out of the military attache group.

Therefore, victory in front of the emperor does not mean a real victory, but only the beginning of the struggle.

Fang Chongwen also saw it very thoroughly, and then didn't say a word, standing in place like a stone sculpture.

It wasn't until it was close to noon, when he was about to go to court, that Situ Dongye focused on the three princes.

Situ Dongye first looked at the eldest prince Situ Haobai, and asked expressionlessly: "Haobai, what do you think about today's disarmament?" ”

Situ Haobai immediately stepped forward and said: "My father is wise, no matter how assertive my son is, he is just learning." However, Erchen also thought about it carefully, and felt that what Lan Guogong said was very reasonable, the border army is indeed the foundation of our Poseidon Empire, and it cannot be easily reduced. Even if it is to be reduced, it is necessary to establish a new Eastern Military District, and the support should be lacking and insufficient! ”

Situ Haobai was completely pick-up, and fused the words of Lan Guogong and the cabinet capital, and said it with confidence, looking like he had come up with it.

Of course, he is the eldest prince, and no minister or official will raise objections.

Situ Dongye also nodded slightly; "Well, there's some truth!"

followed Situ Dongye and looked at the second prince Situ Haolin again, and asked, "Haolin, what do you think?" ”

Situ Haolin felt that the eldest brother had said everything he wanted to say, he rolled his eyes in his heart, and he had to echo and say: "Father, the idea is basically the same as that of the imperial brother!" ”

"Sure enough, it's brothers, they can all think of it together!" Situ Dongye snorted coldly, turned his head and looked at the six princes again.

"Haotian, what about you?" Situ Dongye's tone intensified, obviously to test the six princes.

The sixth prince stepped forward and said: "Father, the sons think that they should establish eight military regions and cut half of the border army as the capital said!" ”

As soon as these words came out, he took a clear position, directly indicating that he wanted to support Fang Chongwen.

"Oh, why do you think so!" Situ Dongye asked expressionlessly, but in his heart, he also seemed to listen to this son's opinion.
