Chapter 72: The Development of a New Empire
Embroidered Spring Knife World, Beijing.
The huge dark gray reinforced concrete city wall towers over the ground, more than eight stories high, and the huge wall with an average width of enough for ten trucks to drive side by side at the head of the city makes all Fanbang people who come to Daming feel deep awe.
Luo Shen's figure appeared at the east gate of the city.
The cars and carriages on the highway were in a bit of confusion trying to avoid the sudden appearance of the "child", and the soldiers who maintained the east gate quickly stepped forward to clear the traffic and discovered the culprit of all this.
"Imp! Your family didn't teach you not to be on the roadβ" The soldier's words suddenly choked in his throat.
He recognized the boy.
White hair, blue eyes, short and slender stature, and snow-white skin without blemishes...... It was an image he couldn't have been more familiar with.
Because in this city...... No, it should be said that in any city of this empire there were hanging, standing, carved portraits, statue reliefs about the boy.
Poof!
The soldier knelt down and bowed deeply to the person in front of him: "My lord! β
β¦β¦
Two hours later, after years of development, the capital, which has a population of more than 8 million, entered a state of total martial law.
All military, police, and government departments are on 24-hour standby.
More than half a million soldiers and police officers were dispatched directly to the streets and alleys to maintain law and order.
Even those big people who hold huge power are now in a state of conscientious work, and even if there is no one to supervise them, these ministers, directors, and bureau chiefs are all more dedicated to their posts than their subordinates, for fear of the slightest disclosure.
And the nine cabinet elders and the prime minister, who held the highest power in the empire, surrounded Luo Shen, who had suddenly returned, to inspect the city.
Inside the magnificent Palace of Parliament.
Luo Shen sat indifferently on the towering golden throne, as an evil god, he didn't think there was anything remarkable about the huge throne under his buttocks, which was said to be made of ninety-nine tons of gold.
It's like he doesn't really care about this empire that he "casually" forged.
But the human side maintained his sanity very well.
This prevented him from destroying the entire city at once.
Intellectually: it's a useful toy.
"The time has come to prove your worth." He said.
β¦β¦
News of the holy war spread throughout the capital.
The news of the holy war spread in the Ming Dynasty.
News of jihad spread in the East Asian colonies.
News of jihad spread in the American colonies.
Accompanied by letters, official documents, newspapers, telegrams, telephones, and a small number of experimental networks dedicated to the military...... The gods returned, and news of the Holy War spread throughout the earth.
Time.
The empire moved.
With the roar of the engine......
The hoarse mobilization of propaganda radio stations came from the loudspeakers in the streets and alleys......
The sound of millions of pairs of military boots stepping onto the train with neat steps......
Over the years, the empire, which had been firmly controlled by those dependents, and had never stopped colonizing, religious brainwashing, industrial and technological development, constant warfare, and a growing empire, was fully operational.
Countless new generations of young people who have been taught in school from an old age to be "the one true God", "the creator", and "to fight for God" took up the steel gun at this moment.
Once, Luo Shen brought something to the world of embroidered spring knives.
Technology and ideas that transcend the times, breeding white worms and continuously transforming human beings into the power of the will of the evil gods......
Maybe he's just doing it casually.
But at this moment, Luo Shen was also surprised to find that after decades of self-development, the entire world of "Embroidered Spring Knife" has developed into a completely deformed war machine!
I wonder how those dependents understood his intentions.
But now it seems.
Under the frantic and unscrupulous construction of these dependents, this "Da Ming" has completely departed from the social form that can be formed by the development of normal human society.
All! All! Every single one!
Everyone in the Ming Empire was included in the military system of the empire.
From elementary school onwards, children receive basic military, discipline and religious lessons, and from the second half of the fourth grade onwards, they are introduced to combat military combat, bayonet fighting, and the use of soft eggs.
At the junior high school level, the number of courses increased, but almost 80 percent of the new courses in physics, chemistry, biology, and physiology and hygiene were related to war.
For example, in the chemistry textbooks used in Beijing and Tianjin, the first lesson is how to use daily objects to weave incendiary bombs and explosives~.
In the general textbooks of the North American colonies, the stage test of physics class is based on the basic models and theories provided by the textbook, creating a trap that can make people die in five minutes, and it also requires the potential energy, acceleration and other indicators that must be used.
The high school stage has been detached from the compulsory education stage of the empire.
At this stage, 30% of students will not be able to successfully advance to the next level, and they can choose to repeat the third year of junior high school or choose to enter a vocational school.
Of course, entering a vocational school means that you have decided on your future job in advance.
Agriculture, Industry, Medicine, Mining, Architecture......
Majors are chosen according to the plan for future careers for all, as determined annually by the National Assembly.
And 70% of students who successfully progress to high school will continue their studies in more difficult situations.
Three years of high school.
In addition to cultural classes similar to those on Earth, students are expected to master the operation and maintenance of twenty weapons, be familiar with the knowledge of warfare, and have undergone at least 300 hours of simulated combat training.
Ultimately.
The number of students going on to college will be 50 per cent of the total number of high schools in the country.
However, both the lucky ones and the high school students who failed to get into college will be able to serve in the Imperial Army immediately or in four years!
Three years at the minimum! Longest for life!
It is not difficult to see from the fact that the entire empire is tilting in the direction of war preparations.
If there is a war, the vast empire that now controls all of Asia, successfully colonizes Europe, America and Oceania, and begins to exploit the resources of the African continent will be able to mobilize at least 300 million troops!
And the total number of people who will be served by it will reach more than a billion!
That's a pretty frightening mobilization figure.
Even in the time and space where Luo Shen is located, World War II, which is known as the largest in human history, has a total of only 110 million people participating in the war!
And now the Ming Empire is three times the total number of troops participating in World War II!
This is undoubtedly a terrifying number.
If Luo Shen has enough ability to project such a huge force, as long as the combat effectiveness of the imperial army is not too scummy, even if it relies on crowd tactics, drowning will drown the enemy!
However...... It's not enough.
