"This matter is so decided, tomorrow you will assist Foreign Minister Qin Feng to talk to the envoy of the Lingmu Clan, the Lingmu Clan has no choice, no matter what, you must let him start a war in the shortest possible time"

"The Ministers Understand"

Qin Feng and Li Tianyi bowed down at the same time and replied.

Ji Hao glanced at everyone in the main hall, and continued: "Now Admiral Jiang Tie is leading the army of the whole country to pursue the evil tyrant on behalf of me, although I can see that the evil tyrant has the intention of leaving, but if I don't see him leave with my own eyes, I can't rest assured, so I want to send an army to chase him all the time, this chase may be a few years, knowing that the strength of his subordinates must not be reduced until the evil tyrant escapes from the galaxy, so there is no major problem in the rear, I will not transfer him back, but the empire now only has the strength of the earth domain, This is obviously not enough, so I intend to increase the army."

As soon as Ji Yu finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, now that the empire has just stabilized, the robots have damaged us too badly before, and the economy has not yet fully recovered, although under the interstellar expansion, the situation is very good, but this takes time to buffer, once a large number of troops are increased, this will be a devastating blow to the empire's booming economy."

Ji Hao took a look and saw that the person who spoke was his cheap father

As the Minister of Finance of the Empire, Uncle Bu has to manage the money of the empire, so he is naturally very clear about the empire's economy.

Ji Yu was speechless for a moment, he couldn't murder his father, he could only explain gently: "I know the situation of the empire very well, but I have absolute reasons to expand the army, and this time it is not a comprehensive expansion of the army, but the expansion of the super fleet first, and this time the super fleet will be upgraded again"

"Please make it clear to Your Majesty," Uncle Bu wants to leave the road.

"In the past, the super fleet of the empire was composed of super warships and large warships, such a fleet combat power is indeed powerful enough, but it is only on par with the fleets of the Black Dead and the Imperial Gods, but this is not enough, especially the Eighth Merry General submitted an investigation of the strength of the Imperial Divine Clan's army, if the super fleet really meets the elite fleet of the Imperial Divine Clan, it will suffer a big loss, and this time it is the ordinary elite fleet of the Imperial Divine Clan border that comes to support mankind, I have reservations about whether there is a stronger fleet in the territory of the Imperial God Clan, at least the Royal Fleet of the Imperial God Clan Emperor should definitely be stronger than the fleet on the border, so the Empire's super fleet must be upgraded"

Seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces, they didn't seem to understand what he meant by the upgrade, Ji Yu continued to explain: "I have decided that in the future, the super fleet will be canceled and the mix and match mode will be canceled, and all super warships will be used to form Of course, the ordinary fleet will also slowly increase, and now two-thirds of the empire's army is in a state of no ships available, if the fleet is not established, who knows if they will turn from elite to a group of waste after a long time, therefore, the ordinary fleet will also be expanded, but the super fleet must immediately complete the reorganization."

As soon as Ji Yu finished speaking, everyone began to talk about it.

They understood the meaning of Ji Hao's upgrade, which was to replace all the large warships in the super fleet with super warships, but when they thought of the terrifying cost of the super battleships, everyone was unable to calm down.

In the past, it cost more to build a fleet of super ships and a mix of large ships than it would cost to build fifty ordinary legions, but now if you replace a large warship, the cost of this super fleet will be even higher, to the point of being terrifying.

The cost of 10,000 super warships for a legion, plus the equipment and transport ships, made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty feel afraid.

If the super battleship is so easy to build, with the madness of the robot evil tyrant, why is there no more than ten super fleets for so long, and it is also a hybrid super fleet, and its demand for precious metals and maintenance must have considerable requirements, which is an objective condition demand, and it is by no means as simple as just talking.

This is as if mankind has just developed an aircraft carrier, the ultimate weapon of the ocean, when mankind has not yet set foot in space, and a certain country has to build tens of thousands of aircraft carriers at one time, which is simply beyond the scope of human ability.

Think about a few years ago, before the Earth Federation was divided, the flagship of the entire Earth Federation was only ten super warships, and there were only ten in total, and now there are thousands of super warships in the whole human race, and it has only been a few years, and the span is so large.

And now Ji Hao is going to make another big stride, if according to his requirements, all the super fleets need super battleships, then one fleet will need 10,000 super warships, even if the super warships in the whole country are concentrated now, it is not enough for one fleet, not to mention that it stands to reason that each of the thirteen domains should have a super fleet.

This is simply more terrifying than reckless militarism

"Your Majesty, the minister is opposed to such a large-scale expansion of the army with our current strength, which will make the empire unstable." Uncle Bu wanted to take the lead in objecting.

"The ministers are also opposed"

Almost all of the civil servants came forward at once.

On the contrary, everyone among the generals is as stable as Mount Tai, and they are very supportive of Ji Hao's proposal, just kidding, if they have a fleet composed entirely of super warships, what kind of combat power it will be, even if they are immediately allowed to fight the Black Dead, they have full confidence.

Now Tuso's army is still running out of the Void Star Domain Belt, the reason why the Empire did not pursue is that the ordinary fleet can't catch up, and the super fleet jumps over, but it can't win the other party, after all, the other party also has three elite fleets, and there are so many ordinary fleets, and if they have an upgraded super fleet, then the situation will be completely different, only one fleet needs to jump over, and they can kill one of Tuso's troops, so that they can't escape from the Void Star Domain area.

Thinking about the power of the upgraded superfleet, no general is not moved, and as for money, this is not something they should consider.

"Okay, don't be in a hurry to object, this time the expansion and upgrade of the super fleet, I will not spend a penny of the empire, what I need is that you can take on the expansion task of the ordinary fleet, and now the economic situation of the empire is also clear, so the ordinary fleet I also decided to build in batches, first increase little by little, and wait until the interstellar expansion brings huge dividends, and then fully expand the ordinary fleet"

Many Wenchen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that Ji Yu did not spend money from the treasury to expand the super fleet, this super fleet is really a bottomless pit, and it is simply easy to bring down a country.
