In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

After Vikellon's subjugation, his influence in the imperial court was rapidly weakened. In order to control everything as soon as possible, Xiao Junling has begun to gradually grant many of his subordinates official positions in the empire, taking control of various important departments. Especially in terms of military power, this is the foundation of one's life, and it must be in one's own hands!

However, for a group of generals such as Marshal Berold and Admiral Seraphim who took the initiative to take refuge in him, Xiao Junling still gave enough trust to them, and never snubbed them.

These generals were all figures who had commanded legion battles at the beginning, and their abilities were naturally not bad, but the empire was losing and retreating, and many generals became nominal commanders. Therefore, Xiao Junling promised that when the size of the fleet expands in the future, they will all have the opportunity to regain military power!

At present, only 25,000 warships are already the upper limit of the national strength of the Nogas Blue Empire! It's not impossible to expand the army again, but in Xiao Junling's opinion, it's not necessary for the time being.

Because he has already decided that before the end of this year, he will not launch a new war of expansion, but will focus all his energy on the construction of internal affairs! Build these eight star fields into a solid place of foundation in the rear!

To build a powerful fleet, the amount of manpower, money and material resources spent is by no means a small amount! The cost of the battleship itself is only a part of it, and it does not account for a large proportion.

What really consumes a huge amount of money is the cost of selecting and training officers and men for various types of warship operations, the cost of building and maintaining warship bases, the cost of various logistical support facilities, and the cost of frequent drills. And the various maintenance of the battleship itself is also a staggering expense!

And this expenditure must not be cut, because it is directly related to the combat effectiveness of the fleet!

It's just a matter of usual. If it's a battle together. The fleet struck in a big way. For the consumption of various resources, it is even more soaring! Replacement of shipboard weapons and ammunition, energy blocks, food, medical drugs, various vulnerable parts, etc.

Su Yaxuan calculated that the 25,000 warships, in order to maintain their normal combat consumption, the value of various logistics materials required per month is as high as 20 million energy points! In the event of a big war. If the fleet casualties are large, the cost will have to be doubled!

Fortunately, today's empire already has a certain military industrial base, several star fields are rich in mineral resources, and after large-scale investment and transformation, most of the logistics materials can be self-produced, as long as there is no large-scale war, at least there will be no problems in half a year!

Xiao Junling has already decided that after returning to the Huaxia Empire this time, he must find ways to get a few large warship production lines from Qin Yayu to expand the size of his fleet!

So. He has already ordered the mass recruitment of crews from all civilian classes, and then sent to a newly established series of training camps for training! Wait for the battleships to be in place in the future. That's where they come in!

To this end, he issued a series of decrees, and all young people who were willing to join the army could receive free food rations for their immediate family members after passing the preliminary examination. In the future, after boarding the ship and participating in a certain number of battles, the immediate family members can get a chance to be assigned a job, and if they have enough combat merits, they can not only be promoted to officers, but also get the opportunity to focus on training and get genetic optimization!

In the unfortunate event that you are killed or disabled in battle, in addition to the due pension, your immediate family members will also be eligible for priority job adjustments! All kinds of benefits have been increased accordingly!

Of course, this is different from the free genetic optimization that is done in order to select the Adepts! The candidates were all children between the ages of ten and fifteen, and prior to the operation, they all signed contracts with their parents that their children would serve the military for the rest of their lives, with or without the ability to activate! Unless you have made enough achievements, you will be allowed to retire!

If these adults who join the military are also willing to sign a contract with the military and promise to serve the military for life, then they will also get the same treatment in one step!

Such a policy can be described as a great preferential treatment! Not to mention that this kind of place is impossible, even most overseas lords are unlikely to give such generous treatment to the local natives!

Genetically optimized soldiers, their physical fitness, reaction speed, ability to deal with complex problems are far from comparable to ordinary soldiers! And after being injured, because of excellent physical fitness, the probability of surviving and fully recovering is far better than that of ordinary people! This is undoubtedly a huge boost to the morale and combat capability of the fleet!

This policy alone has caused the gates of the military recruitment office to be crowded with surging young people!

Coupled with the implementation of the industrial upgrading and optimization project, it has brought a large number of employment opportunities to the people! As long as you have sound limbs and a basic education, you can get a job with a good salary, and you don't have to worry about being shamelessly exploited by the power of the aristocratic bureaucracy in the past!

…………

On the path from the Lille Domain to the Shining Field, hundreds of large transport ships are heading towards the mouth of the wormhole.

The interior of the transport ship is basically civilians with their families in tow, and they sit in an orderly manner under the coordination of biochemical soldiers.

Most of them came from all over the empire, and later because of the repeated defeats in the war, they had to abandon their family business and flee to this star field, which eventually led to the influx of more than 100 billion people on the seven ecological planets! Far exceeds the upper limit of what the local resources and environment can accommodate!

For this reason, after Xiao Junling took power, he formulated a relevant immigration plan to transfer the civilians on these planets to several other star fields in batches to alleviate the pressure of the population on the environment.

A pale golden saucer-shaped ship with the Imperial Government logo flew out of the wormhole, and then headed for the stargate not far away, through which you could reach the Hidden Dragon Star.

"I have to admit that the sovereign is indeed very good to the people of the empire!"

In the cabin, the already promoted Earl Snowty looked at the endless fleet outside the porthole and said with some emotion.

Marquis Seraphim nodded: "Yes, the ability of the Lord Monarch is enough to be worthy of his current position!" Coupled with a benevolent heart, this is indeed a very happy result for the hundreds of millions of people of the empire! ”

Marshal Berold said sullenly: "It's a pity that the orthodoxy of the empire, if His Majesty the Emperor can cheer up, maybe it will be ...... now"

The Marquis de Bordeaux, who was sitting on the side with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, glanced at him indispensably, and said, "Your Excellency, please don't forget your current identity!" If you let the lord hear this, what kind of trouble will it be, so you don't need me to remind you, right? ”

The marshal looked at him with some disdain, and said coldly: "Sounds quite loyal!" It's a pity that if anything happens to the empire in the future, I'm afraid you will be the one who will be the fastest, right? Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Marquis, the speed with which you have changed your position has always been breathtaking! ”

This Duke of Bordeaux used to be the nobleman who was said to be the most loyal to the royal family, but unfortunately after Prince Vikron gained power, he did not hesitate to fall to the other party, and he was not ashamed of his actions in the slightest!

After the fall of Victoron, he immediately came to express his allegiance to Xiao Junling as soon as possible, in addition to taking the initiative to offer a large amount of family wealth and his two daughters, he also took the initiative to expose Victoron's other henchmen, and handed over a batch of equipment and materials in his hands for safekeeping!

Xiao Junling didn't know much about this guy, although he looked down on him as a person, but the other party had a certain amount of credit after all, and it was not good to be too strict, so he was only demoted to a knighthood, and the position of the speaker of the House of Nobles did not change.

In response to the marshal's accusation, Bordeaux's face did not change in the slightest, but said with a smile:

"That's just expediency! The Lord is talented and promising, and will inevitably lead the empire to a new peak in the future! Such characters are the ones we really deserve to follow! Isn't that so? ”

Count Snotty said at the right time: "All right! You don't have to fight! We are all the courtiers of the sovereign, and we are also the blue people of Nogas, and we should work together to help each other in the future! ”

"His Majesty the Emperor was promoted to the throne by that traitor in an abnormal period, maybe this is not in line with his temperament at all, and now that he can unload this burden, he should be happier!"

Marshal Berold exhaled sullenly and said nothing more.

Moments later, the Hidden Dragon Star had already appeared outside the porthole, and the War Fortress that had stayed in a synchronous orbit was clearly visible.

A patrol of warships approached and identified them before they were released.

However, at this time, Xiao Junling was not in the war fortress, but infiltrated the Yuan Xing Star Domain again and entered the ancient base.

After a few months, under the full power operation of the production and collection unit of the base, the warehouse of the finished S-grade energy spar was refilled with more than one-third, with a total amount of hundreds of millions of cubic meters! Naturally, all of them are cheaper, and the two daughters of Meixin and Yilin!

There is also a lot of inventory in the warehouse where ore products are stacked, and the number of finished products is larger because the refining process is relatively simpler than that of high-quality energy crystals! All of them were incorporated into the dimensional space that came with the purple gold rune.

According to the design standards, it will take a year for the warehouse here to be full, and then it can guarantee the consumption of the base for the next five hundred years! However, under the uninterrupted work of the production and collection unit, he can come over to harvest a batch of rich resources every once in a while in the future!

“…… According to your request last time, the main control center of the base has ordered the production of a new batch of ore smelting equipment, including a complete energy spar production line! Yilin said,

"Do you want to ship them back to your territory now and assemble them for use? This way you can get more every month! ”

Xiao Junling groaned: "Let's store it here for the time being!" I'll talk about it when I come back from the Star Sea World Realm. ”

These things far surpass the level of the Huaxia Empire's skills, and once they are known to outsiders, they will definitely lead to many unpredictable troubles! So it must be kept secret at all costs! (To be continued......)
