"The Yan and Huang people are deeply disgusted by their government's concessionary attitude, which has led to the entire federation having to maintain a tough attitude on many external issues. And this kind www.biquge.info of tough attitude requires the country to have enough warships to maintain, and maintaining a large number of troops will inevitably drag down the development of the domestic economy, the original federal mining industry is not very developed, and the huge federal navy is already a considerable burden for the federation itself. This is a serious blow to the follow-up development plan of the Yanhuang Federation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can even be said to be a vicious circle...... "Some of the Mediterranean finance ministers said, as a pillar of the government, the finance ministry is the most stressful.

In fact, as a government that tends to prioritize the economy, military spending is nothing short of robbery, simply put, the government wants to reach an agreement with the military ministry to suspend the expansion of the army. However, in the current form of the universe, not having enough fleets is quite dangerous for a country that wants to maintain its sovereign integrity and independence.

Although the Federation currently has a large number of retired and active military personnel, the construction of starships and the development of minerals to maintain combat effectiveness have become major problems. However, the main economic sources of the Yanhuang Federation are mainly entertainment and agriculture, and in terms of industry, mineral production alone is enough to limit industrial capacity.

Although the Naval Assembly Group of the Yanhuang Federation under the direct jurisdiction of the Navy and the affiliated Dalian Industry are all large-scale manufacturing groups that can be ranked in the universe, the largest mining group of the Yanhuang Federation, Star Mining, can only be sadly ranked outside the twenty among all the mineral mining groups. In other words, it has an extremely strong assembly and manufacturing industrial base and supporting facilities, but there are no rich mineral resources, which really makes all the senior officers depressed.

The Admirals of the Yanhuang Federation Army seem to have gotten used to the Minister of Finance, who often cries and shouts at meetings, though not without a practical solution. But at the top of the ruling class, everyone knows very well that the federal government to which they are loyal is indeed "poor".

However, the small coffers of the governments of each planetary system with a high degree of autonomy are tight on money, but they have to uphold the principle of freedom and voluntariness of the federal government, so the red-eyed Yanhuang Federation Army has no intention of reaching out to the pockets of the galaxy governments in the Federation.

"Well, according to the previous practice, local security is the business of the local fleet, and our central fleet is only responsible for the major combat missions of defending the country. While these rules have always been observed by the Federal Navy, times are changing, and we cannot afford to follow them. So, obviously, doing things according to the rules as it is now lagging behind the real environment. In the three-dimensional hologram, the very dignified Supreme Supervisor held a paper document and read it sentence by sentence.

"Therefore, after discussion, the Supreme Command delegated a part of the starship supply rights to the major fleets. Of course, issues such as technical secrecy are handled by specialists from the Directorate of Military Intelligence. In the old man's usual unhurried tone, with unquestionable majesty, he gave the right to freely dispose of logistics and supplies.

After the resolution was reached, the old-fashioned typewriter in the empty room began to work, and the machine in the corner chirped and chirped. Soon after the document was printed, the rights obtained by Lulu's special service fleet as a result of this decision were clearly written on paper, and after the meeting, it could officially take effect.

Although the federal government is best at pretending to be confused and pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and all along, the eyes and spies of the intelligence services directly under the jurisdiction of the government have spread to every corner of the country, so the successive presidents and those members of the parliament are not unaware that the major fleets of the glorious Yanhuang Federation Navy actually control part of the mineral or economic share where they are stationed, and some even directly use the fleet's warships and pirates to engage in smuggling.

However, as long as the government of the galaxy where those fleets are located does not submit a protest to the central government, then the central government, which has always been with the mud, will not be careless, but this time, it is a right that has never been openly given, which will undoubtedly make many government officials have a trace of worry and doubt, in the eyes of politicians, these fleets will support themselves if they do not do well.

"Ah, I guess after a series of wars in the past few years, our federal government is about to go bankrupt." Looking at the lazy boss, the helpless Hayabusa could only sort out the documents and said indifferently. "In fact, the government of the Yanhuang Federation has always been extremely poor, and if it weren't for the financial support of the Capital Galaxy, it is estimated that it would have declared bankruptcy two years ago. Maybe the president will have to come to Liberty Square to collect donations or something. The facts drawn from the falcon's mouth made Lu Lu who crossed over a shock, what the hell is the situation, the government bankruptcy is completely impossible in the eyes of Lu Lu who has crossed over.

Yes, this is the freedom of the Yanhuang Federation...... As a member of the Federation, the system government is free to pay funds to the federal central government every year, ranging from 1 ISK (the standard currency of the universe) to trillions of ISK, all of which are permitted by the federal constitution.

After many contents of the federal law are refined, they are all aimed at the Yanhuang people, that is, the federal citizens who have Yanhuang blood and voluntarily recognize themselves as Yanhuang people in the legal definition, because these people who are maintained by blood and tradition are the basic citizens who form the cornerstone of the Yanhuang Federation, and have the obligation to be loyal to the Federation, the obligation to protect the Federation, and the obligation to safeguard all the interests of the Federation.

Other races living in the territory of the Yan and Huang Federation do not assume any obligations on the basis of not opposing the federal government. That is to say, other races on the planet do not bear the scope, including local taxes, beliefs, customs, and of course, export taxes still have to be paid. Otherwise, the local finances cannot be guaranteed, in all aspects, the Yanhuang Federation is very free, even the most basic taxes of the state are very arbitrary, but casual is one thing but has to be paid.

This may be because the federal government is transformed from a military government, and at the beginning, the people in the federation were all soldiers, so what they cultivated was a sense of responsibility, and in the government's view, 1 yuan was also a tax, just a matter of consciousness.

It is precisely because of such a nonsensical political system and style that it is normal for the Yanhuang federal government to go bankrupt, at least, in the hundred years since the end of the Great Patriotic War, successive presidents have declared the central government bankrupt seven times. Forty-six times, the government called for external fundraising......

"It's a complete mess...... like a dehydrated fish, Lu Lu opened his mouth forcefully, a little sluggish and couldn't contain his surprise. Really walking at the center of power, but can only feel speechless about the structure of the federation. "With so many troops, who will feed them." The corners of his mouth were still twitching, and he could only look up to the sky and sigh at this time.

"The military expenses of the Central Fleet under the federal government come from the national defense tax imposed on the citizens of the Yanhuang tribe, but the amount paid by the citizens is also completely ......voluntary," Falcon Hawk, who casually explained Lu Lu's question, rolled his eyes and expressed disdain for his general's whiteness. Of course, active duty military personnel are exempt from taxes. After thinking about it, the honest adjutant finally added, completely ignoring his superior's pitiful ability to bear it.

"What a mess this is...... "Lu Lu, who is at the core of the military power of the Yanhuang Federation, is completely desperate for the Federation's policy." No wonder the old fox of the Supreme Governor shouted poverty all day long...... It turns out that the truth is that the amount of military spending cannot be confirmed at all, for such a simple reason. "It wasn't until now that Lu Lu really figured out something that he couldn't understand before, that is, about the confusion and distress of other imperial forces about the military expenses of the Yanhuang Federation.

Because the easiest way to find out the military strength of the Yanhuang Federation is to find out the country's military spending and related expenses every quarter, but this military spending problem has always been a problem for all intelligence agencies. Because for a long time, the military expenditure of the Yanhuang Federation has been what the intelligence systems of the major empires want to find out. But the problem is that even the Federation Army itself doesn't know how much they will get in the next quarter. So it is even more impossible for the intelligence services of those other countries to find out.

"So, what do I remember about the annual budget report of the fleet that I signed?" As he spoke, Lu Lu suddenly remembered the budget report that he had signed not long ago, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's used to solicit sponsorship, but there are a lot of rich people in the Yanhuang Federation." As if he were talking about something that was taken for granted, Hayabusa said indifferently. "For a long time, the major fleets have had gray income, you know, the largest and strongest commodity smuggling group in the universe is our Federation. Well, now that the government has approved the resale of arms, the Federation Starship is still very marketable in the big universe. ”

I don't know whether Hayabusa will be happy about his country's arms sales or sad about his country's chaotic financial system.

......Lu Lu, who was completely speechless, could only make such an expression, and this status quo was no longer an ordinary embarrassment. I don't know what it would be like to let other empires know the true situation of the Federation Navy. Especially the soldiers of the Galactic Empire Army, who have been suppressed and beaten by the Federation Army since hundreds of years ago......

"In fact, if it were in the middle of the war, the finances of the major fleets would be a little better. After all, in this way, the government would impose a war tax...... "As if nostalgic for something, Hayabusa put the last straw that crushed Lulu, a camel that was still barely holding on."

OTL…… So poor Lu Lu was in a state of frustration and bending forward in the next moment.

"It's a miracle, it's a miracle that the Federation is still one of the five empires of the universe, it's a miracle......" Lu Lu, who kept shouting in his heart, didn't know at all that the tax policy of the Yanhuang Federal Government was only for the citizens of the Yanhuang Nationality, and it was not the main factor that made the government's financial revenue in distress.

Because most of the Yanhuang people with federal citizenship are above the middle class, most of them pay the annual defense tax according to one percent of their income. After all, they were all members of the Federal Army, and they didn't have much resistance to defense taxes, and the Galaxy government, where the Yanhuang people occupied the main body, was also quite generous when it came to allocating funds to the central government.

Under normal circumstances, the defense tax can not only cover the normal consumption of the Central Fleet, but also replenish the empty federal finances, but the bankruptcy of the federal government this time is entirely due to the large-scale refitting of the Yanhuang Federation Navy that is in full swing not long ago. The refitting of new warships will consume a large amount of government reserve funds, so the federal government, which is not very rich in the first place, has completely laundered its money bag in army construction......

Now Lu Lu is like a boy chicken that has been scorched by thunder, and he is shaking back and forth on the sales shelf... It's just that the image of the glorious Yanhuang Federation Navy in Lu Lu's heart has completely collapsed.

However, more of this happened in the conference building, which caused Lu Lu, who was leaning on the table, to squint his eyes and hang more and more black lines on his forehead.

Just listening to the Grand Admiral's Council, the high-ranking officials who you don't usually see are arguing about their own interests. The voices in the channel came and went, and Lu Lu, who participated for the first time, slowly turned white. "Do I buy groceries at the market at the corner of the street, or do I work part-time at the venue of the Pirate Boss Conference?" At this time, Lu Lu's heart no longer had any distractions, only this only thought.

"I finally know why the Grand Admirals are locked up in a closed room, and if they were all crammed into one room, they would have started fighting now." The Admiral, who turned around, complained to his lieutenant, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Ahem, this is also a tradition, it is said that when they first became independent, the Grand Admirals all held meetings with the Marines." Completely ignoring Lu Lu's increasingly pale little face, Hayabusa explained naturally.

"Marine Corps ......" I don't know why, Lu Lu suddenly remembered Colonel Wu Ze and An Fei, the violent boy. And what Colonel Wu Duo had said after coming out of the wolf's den. The best cubs, given only to the best fleet. The Marine Corps is all about whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.

Well, although I know that the Yanhuang Federation is essentially a military government, it is not this kind of messy toss. If it had been placed in the past, Lu Lu would not have believed that there would be such a government in the world. However, this country, which is "free" even in the amount of taxes, really exists in front of its own eyes, and there are hundreds of billions of people who are willing to go to the ruthless battlefield for this messy country and government, but at this time Lu Lu seems to have forgotten that he also belongs to the group of soldiers who voluntarily defend the country, and he is also a member of the most active group of guys.

However, when it comes to personal desire for power and ambition, that is what everyone has, but the actual rulers of the Yanhuang Federation Navy have never shaken off the idea of the Federation going it alone. Not to mention the loyalty of the orderlies who have been following the officers according to the service system to the Federation, purely in terms of appeal, no one dares to stand up against the federal government until the symbol of the Federation Navy [the greedy wolf family] does not express its dissatisfaction. Otherwise, the first thing they would have to face was the flying Phoenix.

As if he was running a marathon, Lu Lu finally survived until halftime, and completely wilted on the chair like a frosted eggplant, and immediately collapsed...... He had never experienced anything like this, and he completely bowed to the founders of the Federation. How bold that leader must be to be able to suppress these lawless old bastards.

"Now, I get it...... The words written on the certificate of federal citizenship. Lu Lu shook his head, trying to sober himself up. [If you are anywhere and receive any harm, please inform the Federal Navy immediately.] The Federal Navy is obliged to guarantee the legitimate rights and interests of taxpayers. This sentence, which looks like a slogan or a joke, will be completely implemented in the sphere of influence of the Yanhuang Federation, without a trace of moisture. Even if it is outside the borders, as long as the Federation fleet is within its reach, these guys who will never be idle will go to support the citizens of their own country, and also to fulfill the country's promise to all citizens.

It is precisely because of the words written on the citizenship certificate, and these words that are actually implemented by the federal navy, that the Yanhuang people of the Federation are sideways creatures in most of the universe. It is precisely for this reason that the people of the Federation, who are good at commercial trade, even in the face of powerful Emma merchants, still puff up their chests proudly and proudly, and disdain them under Emma's conservative economic system. This is why the Yanhuang Federation has the strongest national cohesion, and it is also the reason why the navy of the Yanhuang Federation has always been strong.

International commentators who live on the pen under the stars have come up with the assumption that if you want greater power, sorry, there is no one in the entire universe who is bigger and more comfortable than the Admiral of the Federation Army.

Because the emperor of the Galactic Empire is still restrained by the parliament, the House of Commons will impeach you a few times from time to time, and there is also the House of Elders next to Emma's emperor, and the great nobles in the country never pay attention to the emperor's decrees. As for the Prime Minister of the Klingon Republic? Come on, people in that position can change three times a month, and if they don't pay attention, they will be pulled off the horse. Finally, let's talk about the speaker of the Freedom League, that thing is to see who has more money, and once every three years, the rich list is arranged, and whoever has more money is the speaker, this kind of election method, for the soldiers, there is no sense of accomplishment at all.

And that complete dictatorship who said? Let me tell you, in these days, there is no difference between a complete dictatorship and suicide, just asking for instructions and reports from all over the world is enough for a dictator to have a headache. If you don't look at it, the place will rebel immediately, and if you manage it carefully, the life expectancy will be reduced by 80 percent.

Therefore, in the end, public opinion came to the conclusion that only becoming the admiral of the Yanhuang Federation is the royal choice, and what are the benefits of the admiral of the Federation Army: first of all, there is money, trillions of funds every year, which are directly transferred to the fleet account, and the fleet account is directly linked to the admiral's private account. Secondly, there are people who can take the Admiral's Guard with them if they want to fight to the flesh, and if necessary, they can also take their own fleets and the fleets of other countries to compete, and if they can't win, they can also find helpers, and a large number of Admirals and his subordinates are waiting for the opportunity to fight. Finally, and most crucially, as the Admiral of the Commonwealth, as long as there is a citizen of the Commonwealth, you can be sure to see that he or she respects you from the bottom of his heart and salutes you. Therefore, this respect is the real reason for urging the talented Federation Navy to strive to climb the rank of Grand Admiral.

With a strong political style, an iron-blooded national army, and a completely free hierarchical system, this country full of contradictions makes Lu Lu truly feel a sense of belonging.

This is a country possessed by demons, with strict hierarchies and strict laws, but its people unconsciously shout "freedom" and are active to the point of "firepower". —Calloway XIII, the 16th Speaker of the House of Commons of the Second Galactic Empire, speaking at a meeting of the 12th year of the Great Patriotic War declared by the Flame and Yellow Federation.
