Doluz, the forefront of the Imperial Army's confrontation with the enemy.

In an interstellar mothership with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers, in a heavily guarded conference room, the stars were shining brightly, and the atmosphere was solemn, and the highest-level military meeting on the imperial front line was nearing the end.

At the top of the long conference table, Ling Shuai, who had a cold expression, sat precariously and did not squint.

On either side of the conference table sat a large number of high-ranking generals, as well as some high-ranking civilian officials with special status, and on the periphery sat a circle of assistants, clerks, and officers of slightly lower rank.

Ling Shuai's adjutant, a female brigadier general with indifferent eyes and no smiles, was making the final summary report.

“…… It has been confirmed that the ninth, eleventh, and thirty-seventh battleship regiments have all lost and have met the conditions for canceling their establishment, while the 51st and 113th battleship regiments still have less than 30 percent of their strength left, their morale has basically collapsed, and they have lost the ability to fight again, so they can only withdraw to the rear base to rest and recuperate, and then put themselves into the front line after making up for the establishment. At present, the main force of the 39th and 41st Battleship Corps still exists, but after many days of high-intensity fighting, the logistics and materials have been greatly consumed, and it is urgent to replenish them immediately......"

"The losses of the Polestar Warriors are also very large, the Polestar Warriors above the ninth star have lost more than 120,000 people, and three times as many of the Polestar Warriors are seriously injured and can only be sent back to the imperial capital for treatment, and nearly thirty percent of them have no hope of recovering their combat strength, and they can only retire after recovery. The Polestar Warlords lost nearly 3,000 people, and the Polestar Gods nearly 100 people, of which seventeen were children of the royal family......"

"The losses of the Mecha Legion, the Star Marines, and the Outer Space Fighter Wing are all very large, because the Kunsha Star Corridor was cut off by the fleet of the Mondello Empire, and it has not been recaptured, so our logistics supply pressure is very great, and the current material reserves are only enough to ensure half a month's combat consumption, and the follow-up material transportation fleet must make a detour to the Dasleke Galaxy, not to mention hundreds of thousands of light years, the danger is also extremely high, many wormholes on that star path are unstable, and there are some very terrifying star beast groups......"

"Due to well-known reasons, in the next three months to half a year, we basically don't expect to get much substantial help, it is impossible to increase the number of troops significantly, the delivery of logistics materials will not be very timely, and the god-level existence in the Polestar Warrior Regiment is unlikely to dispatch too much, so we can only rely on the existing strength to resist the Mondello Empire's troops......"

Her speech was a little longer, and it was over for more than 20 minutes, and the generals present were all worried, and the overall strategic situation on the front line was indeed becoming more and more unfavorable to the empire.

However, the supreme helmsman of the empire had already left the imperial capital at this time and went to the southern provinces of the empire to "inspect", and took a large number of elite legions with him to escort him, so now even the defense forces of the surrounding provinces of the imperial capital are insufficient, how can there be spare strength to support the front line?

Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor himself did not want to see Marshal Ling Changyun, this is already a well-known thing, if it weren't for the Mondello Empire's offensive being too urgent, the first two generals from the clan were captured and one escaped, and the situation of the defense line was worrying, it was impossible for him to use this disobedient veteran.

As for the big nobles who hold the central power of the empire, they are all small abacus who only care about their own interests, intrigue, and deceit, and not many people really care about the future fate of the empire.

The most talked about topic in the upper class circles today is how to transfer property abroad safely and secretly, arrange a way back for yourself and your family, and run away at any time when the situation is not good.

Anyway, the world of the Star Sea is vast, and there are so many national forces in the camp of human civilization, and there are so many places to live, so why do you have to hang yourself from a tree?

Ling Shuai said slowly: "Do you have any good suggestions for the current situation? Whether it's appropriate or not, you can bring it up for discussion. ”

Many generals are relatively silent, what good way can this kind of thing be? The empire's problems have reached a state of being difficult to return to, and even if it reluctantly wins this battle and regains all the lost territory, it is impossible to solve the problem fundamentally, unless it is ......

"Perhaps, we can consider peace talks......"

An old admiral had just said half a sentence before he stopped under the sideways gaze of everyone.

Peace talks may be a solution, but for the soldiers of the bloody soldiers, it feels like a shame or a shame to mention this without gaining the upper hand.

After a moment of silence, a lieutenant general with a thick beard said sullenly: "That one of the Mondello Empire is ambitious, he won't stop if he doesn't get enough benefits, we have now lost more than ten provinces and more than four hundred star fields, if we want to stop fighting, how much profit will we have to spend to feed them?" ”

Ling Shuai shook his head: "Negotiation is the power of His Majesty the Emperor and the cabinet, and we soldiers are only responsible for fighting, so this topic ends here." ”

After a pause, he smiled again: "Actually, it is not without good news, in the secret edict sent by His Majesty, I have been granted enough authority to recruit new soldiers in dozens of provinces behind the defense line, as well as civilian aliens to replenish the army, and I can also raise military funds and materials by myself, and I can control all local officials, so we can discuss the specific regulations now." ”

The generals' faces changed slightly, the authorization of orders of this nature is not trivial, and the slightest carelessness will create a warlord who is too big to fall and difficult to control, has His Majesty the Emperor changed his temperament? Or is it an ulterior motive?

……

Planet NF-119.

One by one, huge transport ships landed in the city, full of young prisoners and a large amount of supplies and equipment.

The person who led the team was also Lin Canghong's henchman, named Yurikin, a middle-aged man who looked white and fat, harmless to humans and animals.

"There are quite a few people in this batch, it should be more than a million, right?" Qin Feng asked.

Yurigin said with a smile: "To be exact, it is one hundred and fifty thousand, Your Excellency the General is very satisfied with your performance, so it has been decided that a batch of prisoners will be sent over every month in the future, and the number will not be less than one million, so do a good job, I am very optimistic about you!" ”

Qin Feng thanked politely, and quietly stuffed a card over, which contained 500,000 star coins.

As a result, the smile on Yurigin's face became more and more sincere.

After handing over the prisoners, the two came to the study to talk in detail, and Ni Qingye was also present.

After accounting, excluding the previous transaction accounts, Qin Feng still owes Lin Canghong a debt of 4.33 billion star coins, with an interest of 6%, which can be repaid in installments.

Although the prisoner's life is not valuable, it is still not free to send it from Lin Canghong to Qin Feng, he also has to pay the bill, the price of each adult male prisoner is 1,000 star coins, and the price of young female prisoners is even more expensive, 10,000 star coins per person, as for the kind of young and beautiful, the price starts at 50,000 star coins.

There are also all kinds of building materials, equipment, machinery, energy towers, vehicles, etc. needed to build the city, all of which cost money, which is also one of the exclusive benefits of the prison tyrant.

Qin Feng didn't say anything about this, as long as these more than one million prisoners settle down, the wealth created for him every month in the future will not be less than 10 billion star coins, and there will be no additional consumption except for basic living expenses, so his profit level will far exceed that of other prison tyrants, and this debt is not a matter at all.

Next, Qin Feng began to get busy, expanding the city according to the scale of accommodating tens of millions of people, establishing a larger and more advanced mineral smelting and processing base, an energy center, a commercial area, a large ship maintenance base, and so on.

Of course, the most important thing is to build new mines so that these prisoners can have work, which is the main source of profit for the prison tyrants, so they can't be dealt with sloppily.

A month has passed, and the city's renovation and expansion project has been basically completed, all of which are handled by the engineering team under Lin Canghong, and what they can't imagine is that during the construction of the project, the wind and waves were calm, and not even the smallest beast tide has not occurred, and even the beast with a big head has not been seen.

Two months later, within a radius of 500 kilometers around the city, all the rich mining areas worthy of large-scale mining have been circled out by Qin Feng, and hundreds of mines have been established and put into operation.

In other words, Qin Feng was now the only force on this planet that had a firm foothold, and the other cell bosses had long since died.

At the end of the second month, Uncle Mack's transport fleet made several trips back and forth before all the ingots in the warehouse area were transported, and then Qin Feng was left with a full set of equipment for an integrated Star Marine Brigade (5,000 people), two hundred sets of genetic optimization agents, and four medium-sized transport ships, all of which had just left the factory. And said that more good things will be delivered next month.

The next day, a new batch of prisoners arrived, along with Lin Canghong's new appointment, officially establishing his status as a prison tyrant, with the internal rank of major, and his jurisdiction over the entire planet.

According to the usual practice, the prison tyrant has the right to form a personal guard team of no more than 15,000 people, which can be equipped with various heavy weapons and equipment, including mechas, hovering combat vehicles, outer space fighters, and even warships, provided that the prison tyrant must buy them out of his own pocket.

The prison boss can have between 50 and 200 cell leaders, each cell leader has jurisdiction over tens of thousands of prisoners, and each cell boss has dozens to hundreds of overseer captains, forming a simple and efficient management system.

Therefore, the total number of prisoners that a prison tyrant can govern is usually in the tens of millions, and the number will be forty or fifty million people, which is equivalent to the population of a medium-sized country in the Overworld. The population of such a big hooligan as Britain and France is only about 60 million.

Of course, with Qin Feng's ability, since he has a planet as a territory, it naturally cannot be idle, and must be fully exploited and utilized, for which hundreds of millions of prisoners are not enough.

Lin Canghong is still taking good care of himself at present, but when his strength further develops and grows and approaches the level of the big prison tyrant, it is difficult to say whether his attitude will change.

Perhaps, I have to choose a time to talk to the other party.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
