Chapter 1973: Imperial Discussion
Moreover, in addition to this mecha, in the entire palace, there is also a cold and ruthless, but extremely powerful mind. This idea, without a doubt, is the idea of artificial intelligence! The energy field emanating from this thought was extremely terrifying, and any slight fluctuation would probably cause him to be alert.
Seeing such a lineup, Su Yu finally understood why Marven kept warning himself not to underestimate the royal family of the Poseidon Empire, and not to assassinate the emperor of the Poseidon Empire easily.
Indeed, under this terrifying mecha and the omnipresent artificial intelligence mind, it is impossible for anyone to invade the palace of the Poseidon Empire.
An hour later, just before half past seven, the Ouchi Imperial Palace rang with a melodious bell, and the palace gates opened.
As soon as the huge palace gate opened, all the princes and ministers in front of the palace gate were all cleaned up with the help of servants and maids, and even a single strand of loose hair would be recombed.
Then, these talents walked into the palace step by step, and walked towards the majestic and lofty Jinluan Hall in front of them.
Of course, because the base of the Jinluan Hall here is more than a kilometer, a suspension device is placed on the steps, as long as you walk to the front of the steps and step on the suspension device, it will automatically rise to the front of the Jinluan Palace.
At the forefront, of course, are the three princes, followed by the cabinet ministers, the prince of the country, and finally those officials of the third and fourth grades.
Of course, there are absolutely no officials below the rank of the fourth rank here, and anyone who is not of sufficient status is not eligible to participate in the early dynasty.
When these officials stepped on the suspended steps and lined up one by one, they really looked like immortals ascending to the sky, which was very wonderful.
Even Su Yu felt that this kind of style was very similar to the legends of the Heavenly Palace and the immortals, maybe someone from the ancient country of China really entered these super empires, but they couldn't understand these things from a scientific level, so they regarded this writing thing as a fantasy and an immortal.
Although Su Yu was standing in the square, his mind had already attached to the six princes and quietly followed.
However, this thought was very weak, and it could only be heard and seen, but it could not leave the Six Princes to investigate the other people. Of course, only such a faint thought can escape the cold thought in the void.
When the three princes entered the main hall, the rest of the cabinet ministers, princes, princes and officials of all grades also entered.
On the top of the main hall, there was a middle-aged man with a long face and a short beard, wearing a golden dragon robe, this person was the emperor of the Seagod Empire and the monarch of the entire country, Situ Dongye.
Situ Dongye's eyes were half-closed at this moment, and his gaze seemed to be still in a state of dissociation, but that majesty still emanated. This is the power of the Son of Heaven, and anyone will feel inexplicably depressed.
It wasn't until everyone entered the hall and stood up in order that Situ Dongye slowly opened his eyes.
followed by the prince, the prince, the prince and the civil and military officials knelt down almost at the same time, and the mountain shouted long live, like a scene in the court.
"Zhu Qing is flat!" Situ Dongye also stood up, raised his hands slightly, and made a gesture of support.
The crowd paused for a full three seconds, and then they stood up in order.
After the eunuch shouted a slogan, Situ Dongye glanced at everyone and said, "Today, what is there to do!" ”
Fang Chongwen, the head of the cabinet on the right, stood up energetically, handed over a book with both hands, bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play!" ”
"Fang Aiqing, please speak!" Situ Dongye bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, it is unbelievable that my Seagod Empire has a territory of millions of light years, controls hundreds of millions of galaxies, and has endless resources, but there is a financial deficit every year. The old minister thought about it again and again, and found that there are three major drawbacks in this, one of which is that the border military expenditure is too high, the border line of our Poseidon Empire is 80 million light years long, the defending warships are more than 1 trillion, the supply transport ships are more than 10 trillion, and the annual cost of maintaining warships alone is more than 30 billion trillion.
Second, there are too many soldiers on the border, and the retirement pension is too high, and now the number of trillions of warships and 10 trillion transport ships is equivalent to more than 100 billion soldiers in service, and the number of military officers who retire every year exceeds one trillion.
Through a secret investigation, Lao Chen found that the actual number of people in the barracks of 1,000 people was only 800, and the remaining 200 were eaten empty salaries, which was tantamount to a national moth.
Nowadays, there are many types of taxes in our Poseidon Empire, and the prices of energy and basic materials are rising, which has caused considerable pressure on the people's lives. Now some barren galaxies can't even pay taxes, and there is a situation where people have fled and people are struggling to make a living.
These are precisely the result of the increase in border military spending over the years, and if it continues, the border military spending will only increase, which is equivalent to a bottomless black hole. Therefore, it is imperative to disarm and reorganize the army, otherwise after a thousand years, our Seagod Empire will be in danger of overturning! ”
Fang Chongwen said it was reasonable, and the numbers were shocking to everyone present.
You must know that according to what Fang Chongwen said, the military expenditure of the border army alone has reached a terrifying 42 trillion trillion, which accounts for almost half of the financial revenue of the entire Seagod Empire.
The current Poseidon Empire's annual financial revenue is only about 80 billion trillion, and only in good years will it exceed 100 billion trillion.
But now, more than half of the border military expenditure alone is not moving.
Emperor Situ Dongye bowed his head slightly and said: "Well, Fang Aiqing is right, the matter of disarmament is indeed imperative, so how does Fang Aiqing think it should be implemented?" ”
"The old minister's compromises are all detailed, and please look at them Your Majesty!" Fang Chongwen took a step forward and handed over the fold with both hands.
"Bring it on!" Situ Dongye immediately commanded.
The eunuch in front of the emperor hurriedly stepped down, and after taking the fold, he handed it to Situ Dongye.
Situ Dongye flipped through it, but there was no expression on his face, and no one could see his mental activity.
Until after reading it, Situ Dongye frowned slightly and said: "Fang Aiqing, if it is according to what you said, the border army will have to cut 500 billion, is this too unfavorable for the military!" ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister has long planned that eight military regions can be set up in the east, west, north and south of the empire, in all directions and eight poles, and each military region will hoard tens of billions of warships, but whenever a large-scale war breaks out, they can rush to support. In this way, 80 billion warships can be used to replace 500 billion warships, and the power of 10 billion warships is enough to sweep all the surrounding empires! Fang Chongwen said.
"Well, this statement is also very reasonable, do you have any objections?" Situ Dongye glanced at everyone and said.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is impossible, the border army must not be cut, this is the foundation of the country!" Suddenly, behind the eldest prince on the left, an old man with gray hair stood up. The man had a wide and long face, a very large nose, and very little hair, and looked a bit like a balding fat donkey.
However, no one present dared to laugh at him, because he was one of the most powerful princes of the Poseidon Empire, Blue Sea Sky!
