2215 year in the Sith calendar

The Reich passed a bill to equip civilian ships with weapons with a range of less than a hundred kilometers.

From the day the bill was passed, all civilian ships could be equipped with some electromagnetic railguns with large calibers but small firing range, and overnight, modifying their own flying boats began to become popular among the people.

Wealthy people or companies bought new civilian shipboard weapons from the Imperial military, while those who didn't have money could go to the market and buy some old weapons from the Empire's just flight out of space.

The empire's war capabilities began to improve invisibly, which also gave Li Mingze the determination to fight against the Zerg troops.

On January 1, 2219, Li Mingze announced the convening of a national press conference.

All the people in the Sith Empire gathered in front of the screens, televisions, and personal terminals and waited quietly.

Everyone didn't know what important news His Majesty the Emperor intended to announce today, but some of the officials of the empire who were of sufficient rank had heavy faces, and they knew that Li Mingze was about to announce the matter about the Zerg to the citizens.

On the big screen, Li Mingze appeared on the screen wearing a black power armor inlaid with gold lines.

He tapped the microphone in front of him, coughed lightly, and looked up at the camera's lens.

"Dear citizens, this year is the one hundred and ninety-ninth year that our Sith Empire has planted its flag in the starry sky!"

"On this important day of New Year's Day, I would like to announce to you a major event that will affect your future life!"

"This matter has been hidden from you by the Empire for decades, of course it is a well-intentioned concealment, but today, I have to tell you, because we have run out of time!"

"As we all know, the Imperial Capital Ring World was built by powerful ancient civilizations, but now, the fleet that destroyed this powerful ancient civilization is approaching our galaxy!"

"According to the information left by the ancient civilization, we named this race the Zerg!"

"The Zerg race is brutal! Bloodthirsty! They will not capture the vanquished, let alone enslave the vanquished, because they will devour all the defeated of their men and use them as nourishment for their own growth! ”

"Once we are defeated, then our entire human race, as well as all human vassals, will be slaughtered, and there is absolutely no way to be spared."

"According to the information sent back by the monitoring station, the fleet of the Zerg is still a year away from reaching our galaxy! We only have a year to prepare!"

"From today onwards, the whole empire will enter the highest level of readiness, all currencies will no longer be in circulation, and the whole empire, regardless of class, will be rationed for survival materials."

"Within the empire, all private enterprises and civilian property will be unconditionally converted into state-owned today, and when the war is over, they will be returned to you one by one according to their value!"

"From today onwards, everyone is up and busy, let's fight for the survival of the empire, and for our descendants to live happily in this starry sky!"

"Those rebels and pirates, I hope you can put aside your prejudice against the Imperial government, report to the nearest Imperial military base, join us, and give your strength for the future of all!"

After listening to Li Mingze's speech, the people in front of the screen became emotional, and they stood up one after another to say that they lived and died with the empire, and the bloody nature of the imperial people who had been sleeping for decades was stimulated.

The citizens of the empire remembered the battles between the empire and civilizations such as the Clam Empire, the Corruptors, and the Pilgrims decades ago, and the empire did not win more with less, and the weak defeated the strong, so the citizens of the empire were still full of confidence in the future of the empire.

Citizens have put their energy into their work, even if their work can only be exchanged for the most basic survival materials, they have no regrets.

At the end of the press conference, various private companies were approached by Imperial officials, and during the next war, all the resources of the Empire were to be used in the war, and no waste was allowed.

The debts owed by the companies to the Imperial Bank are also automatically forgiven, which is equivalent to using the money of the Imperial Bank to develop themselves in vain.

The funds of the Imperial Bank come from the deposits of the people in the empire, once there is a battle with the Zerg, then there will definitely be a large number of imperial citizens sacrificed, and the deposits of these dead imperial citizens will be automatically confiscated, so that when the war is over, this fund hole will naturally be filled.

Entertainment activities in the empire were also suspended from the beginning of the day, leaving only some combat-oriented games to continue to exist, and all variety shows, movies and TV series that were being filmed were all stopped.

At the same time, all citizens of the Empire will receive subsistence items according to their respective ranks, for example, citizens of level 1 can receive survival supplies for two, while citizens of level 2 can receive survival supplies for three people, and level 4 can receive survival supplies for five people.

All the citizens of the Empire who did not have a job began to go to the various military bases to train on their own initiative, after all, it was also very helpful for their own survival to learn as much as possible about combat.

The people also took out their usual treasured weapons from their collection rooms and put them in a place within easy reach. Some people began to buy armor plates to close their windows in preparation for possible future battles.

But Li Mingze didn't tell them that once a planet was invaded by the Zerg troops, it would be difficult for these people to survive! All they could do was to weakly reduce the strength of the Zerg troops.

On the fifth day, the Imperial Government issued a capsule to the citizens, which, when consumed by the citizens, would release molecular robots, which would dissipate the corpse into energy before the Zerg could devour it.

In this way, even if the citizens of the empire die in battle, their corpses after death will not become nourishment for the development of the Zerg!

The entire Sith Empire seemed to be wound up, and began to rush forward.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and the fleet of the Zerg has reached the periphery of the galaxy.

Just when the staff of the Imperial Cape of Good Hope deep space monitoring station were all evacuated and prepared for the landing attack of the Zerg fleet.

The Zerg's fleet suddenly disappeared from the Empire's radar.

Suddenly, there was chaos within the Imperial Command, and all the observatories on the periphery of the entire galaxy were running at full power, constantly scanning the surrounding starry sky.

"How! Find the whereabouts of the Zerg fleet! In the Imperial Headquarters, Li Mingze asked anxiously to the officers in the room.

"Your Majesty, we have turned on all external detection devices, but neither gravitational wave detection, energy field nor optical detection have found the Zerg fleet."

"Their stealth capabilities are too strong for us to detect them effectively!" An officer shook his head and replied to Li Mingze.
