Chapter 598: Open up civilian heavy weapons

Year 2210 in the Sith calendar.

The Sith Empire's fortresses around the predicted Zerg landing site have been completely completed.

There are dozens of large space fortresses built in each star system, and large military bases have been built on the planet's ground.

All the nodes in the vital shipping routes from this star field through the center of the galaxy have been armed to the teeth by the fortresses of the Empire.

Eighty percent of the Empire's fleet has also gathered in this star field located on the outer side of Orion's arm.

Unfortunately, the capital of the Sith Empire, the Rim of the World, is very close to this star field, with only a thousand colonies in between.

Year 2211 in the Sith calendar.

The Sith Empire's government evacuated all colonies within two thousand light-years in diameter around the predicted Zerg landing site under the pretext of predicting a massive natural disaster.

The inhabitants of these colonies took their families and their entire assets back to the heart of the galaxy on a transport ship.

They were replaced by the Imperial Marines and Affiliates, as well as the Orbital Airborne Force.

As the Empire has ruled the galaxy and sent all the newly incorporated civilizations to sleep on the Tomb Space Station, the number of alien soldiers in the Imperial Affiliate Army is decreasing.

These soldiers did not die in battle, but were assigned to the orbital airborne army because of the improvement of combat capabilities.

Now the entire Sith Empire has 20 billion Imperial Marines, 10 million Praetorian Guards, 10 billion Affiliates, and 30 billion Orbital Airborne Forces. (Due to the lack of transport units, the vast majority of soldiers are usually stationed in the garrison.) )

Now the soldiers stationed in this star sector that is about to face the Zerg account for eighty percent of the entire empire's strength!

10 billion Sith Marines, 10 billion co-operatives, and 20 billion orbital airborne troops have all been transported by transport ships in batches to garrison this star field.

All kinds of equipment for them are also being delivered.

Because of the weakened ranged weapons, all the soldiers' weapons have been replaced with electromagnetic orbital rifles with a range of only 500 meters, but the power is greatly increased, and once they fight the Zerg in close combat, their rifles can also fire scattered bullets, and each soldier is equipped with a 1.6 meter long knife to use when there is no ammunition.

In order to prevent the Zerg from potentially burrowing units, these soldiers began to fortify various bases with the help of construction robots as soon as they arrived at the garrison planet.

The ground of each base was surrounded by thick armor plates, and in addition to this, the soldiers built forts, bunkers, and trenches in many convenient places for defense.

Robot units have also become the main force on these planets, whether it is the Imperial Marine Corps or the Auxiliary Army, each soldier can command two combat robots in battle.

In order to create so many combat robots, the Sith Empire has made a bloody investment.

And the alien troops that everyone was known to everyone had all been destroyed, not for anything else, just because they were worried that these alien excellent genes would be discovered by the Zerg.

It wouldn't be fun if those zergs got stronger.

Year 2212 in the Sith calendar.

In order to prevent the Zerg from using the resources of the living planet for replenishment, the Empire has installed extremely powerful incendiary bombs on each planet that has life.

Once the planet falls completely, these incendiary bombs will reduce the entire planet's life to ashes.

The reason why it was not destroyed in advance was that Li Mingze was afraid that the Zerg would see that this area would not be replenished and change the course.

The reason why weapons such as nuclear bombs are not used is that the empire still wants to restart these colonies after the war, after all, the atmospheric environment of these planets can still be preserved by then.

At the same time, the Sith Empire laid countless mines on the planet where the battle could take place.

These mines are scattered throughout the plains and mountains of these planets, and even the oceans have been mined by the Empire.

Cities on these planets have also been transformed into "meat grinders", countless automatic weapons and traps have been installed all over the city, and the buildings of the cities have been transformed into fortresses.

Year 2213 in the Sith calendar.

Li Mingze promulgated a new law that all goods produced by companies must be guaranteed to have an inventory of 20 times last year's sales before they can be approved for sale.

The funds for the production of these goods will be financed by interest-free loans from the Sith Imperial Bank with a repayment period of a hundred years!

At the same time, Li Mingze also announced that all taxes in the empire would be temporarily abolished for ten years.

There is no tax to be paid on any business activity and any income for a period of 10 years.

What's more, all residents must also go to the nearest military headquarters on Saturdays and Sundays for daily military training! Strive to achieve that all people are soldiers and all people are militarized!

The various private companies that received the new law issued by Li Mingze went crazy, lending out loan after loan from the bank.

Producers are starting to produce their goods at full capacity, because there are no taxes, they can lower the price of their goods, and there is no doubt that sales will increase significantly.

Isn't it twenty times the inventory, it doesn't matter, anyway, with an interest-free loan from the Imperial Bank, they just need to work hard to produce and double their company's performance in the past ten years of tax exemption!

Some people are happy and some are worried, although the government no longer collects taxes, but everyone needs to go to military training on weekends.

On Saturdays and Sundays, people in black uniforms can be seen training at bases everywhere.

In the past two years, the material reserves of the people of the empire have been greatly improved, and the physical fitness of the people has also increased steadily, and everyone has become proficient in combat skills.

Counting one month of military training per year and the acceleration effect of the Consciousness Infiltrator, the citizens of the Empire each have undergone two years of military training.

Coupled with the accumulation of previous training, every citizen of the empire can now be said to be a qualified soldier!

October 2214 in the imperial calendar

The Empire passed the Civil Heavy Weapons Act.

In the bill, it was agreed that the civilian population should collect and possess heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns, grenade guns, and flamethrowers.

Of course, all heavy weapons can only be purchased through official channels, and can only be collected at home and cannot be taken out of the house.

These weapons are controlled by the Empire's chips, and once they are taken out of their homes without permission, they will not be able to use them.

But correspondingly, almost all of the heavy weapons companies of the Imperial Family were sold at cost price.

Fortunately, almost every household has bought one or more heavy weapons to collect at home.

Not only because of the price of cabbage, but also because of the improvement of the treatment of the citizens of the empire, the average living area of every household has reached 500 square meters, and almost every man will build a weapons storage room in his own home, after all, this is every man's dream.

Coupled with the fact that it can prevent accidents such as pirate thug attacks, heavy weapons have spread to almost every household.
