Chapter 509: National Mobilization (Part II)
Zhu Zhaoyuan's words were extremely mean, and she was not merciless at all, even if the object of her evaluation was someone from her family. So much so that the faces of many people in the hall were a little unnatural, because they were also from the Queen Mother's family.
Han Zining's face was a little embarrassed, but he still insisted: "Queen Mother, the Starlight Empire's ambitions are not small, and being able to invade dozens of star fields in such a short period of time cannot be taken lightly, whether it is strength or luck!" ”
"Since their equipment and technology level has far surpassed ours and is enough to make up for the numerical inferiority, it has become an almost impossible task for us to completely defeat them in a short period of time! Therefore, it is imperative to increase the number of troops! ”
Zhu Zhaoyuan said impatiently: "Then you say, how many troops do you have to increase to successfully clean up that annoying emperor?" ”
Han Zining looked at his colleagues around him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The minister thinks that it is not enough to defeat this invading enemy army, this country must be destroyed in order to ensure the long-term strategic interests of the Shuofeng Empire!" So the general mobilization order should be issued immediately, and the empire should enter the wartime system! All resources are tilted towards the military sphere, so that this goal can be achieved! ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a lot of waves in the main hall.
The commander of the imperial capital garrison, Andul, said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Excellency, have you made a fuss?" Just for the sake of such a second-rate country, they want to let the entire empire enter the wartime system, how much strength do they have? Is it worth paying so much attention to? ”
Chancellor of the Exchequer Donald Trump also objected: "Your Excellency, General. The mobilization of the whole country is not a joke! There is not enough reason for neither the Cabinet nor the Parliament to approve such a proposal! ”
If such a superpower enters a state of national preparedness for war, the power that erupts will be extremely terrifying! Just look at the first two battles, the invasion of the Borostons and the battle of southern Xinjiang, and the performance of the imperial military-industrial system in a wartime state!
In the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, no matter how strong the Xinghui Empire is, it is just a second-rate country that has not been born for a long time, even if it defeats the coalition of the six great families by luck, it is impossible to have the strength to continue to wrestle with the Shuofeng Empire! It is not ordinarily difficult to get them to treat this country as a strong enemy like the Xuanluo Federation!
That emperor was bold and reckless, and the final outcome was definitely not much better! Maybe it won't be long before the country's finances collapse and it will have to be silenced!
Zhu Zhaoyuan said slowly: "Han Qing, can you tell me your reason?" Could it be that this Starlight Empire really has the strength to be on an equal footing with us? ”
Han Zining glanced at Zhu Bin, who understood and hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, what General Han said is not an exaggeration!" According to the latest information received, the strength of the Starlight Empire's invasion this time is not a million fleets as previously thought, but more than three million! Split into two ways to attack the empire, and according to its marching route, it is speculated that the opponent's target is likely to be the entire Yunmeng Galaxy! ”
"Because the opponent's march is so fast, our forces over there simply don't have enough time to gather and organize a counterattack! And even if the fleet of more than four million can be assembled in time, it will not have too many advantages, plus the performance of the opponent's warships is better than ours, so it is difficult for the empire to completely defeat the opponent with only the existing military strength, and it is even more difficult to destroy the opponent's country! ”
Zhu Zhaoyuan's face changed, and he asked with some surprise: "Three million?" Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could the other side still have so many troops! The performance of the warships is still superior to ours, is this the strength that a second-rate country may have? ”
"Queen Mother, although the Starlight Empire has not been rising for a long time, the industrial system in the southern Xinjiang region is extremely perfect! As long as he takes over, he never slacks off for a day, and the amount of military strength that can be increased every month is a very large number! Zhu Bin explained:
"Those more than three hundred star fields are all extremely rich and anointed lands, nearly half of them have been operated by the Xuanluo Federation for hundreds of years, and their industrial system is no less advanced than that of the Shuofeng Empire, he can completely use this to build a huge fleet!"
"You mean to say that his country has been in a state of war since he got that star field last year?" Zhu Zhaoyuan asked in a deep voice.
"Yes! Even when he started in the Prison Soul Star Sea, such a policy has never changed! Zhu Bin replied.
The Queen Mother's face became more and more solemn: "So, according to your judgment, from last year to now, how many fleets can that emperor toss?" ”
"According to the production capacity of the major industrial bases in the southern Xinjiang region, it is conservatively estimated that there will be no less than two million fleets!" Zhu Bin said, "And the performance of these warships can directly catch up with the most advanced Qianyuan class in the empire, and it is not yet known how they did it!" But one thing can be confirmed, that is, the Shuofeng Empire is no longer able to completely suppress them with its existing standing legions! ”
The ministers were silent, and many people looked shocked, obviously extremely surprised by this number!
The new Foreign Secretary, Filcom, interjected: "It's not enough to have warships, can the training of their ship-handling personnel keep up?" The most important thing is that without a sufficient number of Ability Legions, no amount of regular fleet will be decisive! ”
Zhu Bin shook his head and sighed, "Lord Filcom, I thought so before!" But only now did I realize that we were all wrong! As early as a few years ago, the Starlight Empire was implementing a cheap national gene optimization program on a large scale, and now the price of a fourth-level genetic optimization reagent is less than one-fiftieth of the normal market! As a result, the Starlight Empire's current high-quality population is no less than that of the Shuofeng Empire! ”
"In particular, in order to cultivate a large-scale Alien Legion, their military will follow our usual practice and select a large number of teenagers from the civilian sector every month to carry out free fourth-level genetic optimization surgery, the scale of which is ...... Ten times more than ours! ”
"There is another point to emphasize: thanks to His Majesty the Emperor's genes, the production cost of the Starlight Empire's high-grade genetic potions is much lower than ours, so the number of high-level abilities they can cultivate every year is also extremely impressive! In addition, after Xue Chunfeng's defeat, a large number of elite legions of the original empire belonged to him! So, the chips in the hands of this emperor are much more than we estimated! ”
Trump asked incredulously: "Such a staggering plan is astronomical!" Their country's finances will definitely not be able to afford such a consumption! Even we can't afford to carry out a similar plan, how did the emperor do it? ”
Zhu Bin spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's a pity, Lord Trump, I don't understand it either!" Maybe some big force is secretly supporting him behind the scenes! ”
The hall fell silent again, and everyone was thinking, if the strength of the Starlight Empire had developed to such an exaggerated level, the outcome of this battle would not be as optimistic as expected!
Zhu Zhaoyuan pondered for a long time and said, "In this way, it is really necessary to order the mobilization of the whole country?" ”
"Queen Mother, this is the most reasonable choice at the moment!" Han Zining said.
Trump's face was a little bitter, but it was difficult to say anything. With this order, the Empire's finances will begin to deteriorate again! Naturally, his life as Chancellor of the Exchequer is not so easy!
"So be it! The palace immediately issued an edict, the empire entered a wartime economic state, and then transferred two million fleets from the Tianhua galaxy, and one hundred ability legions went south, all of which were under Zhu Xinlong's dispatch and command! Zhu Zhaoyuan finally made up her mind.
"Queen Mother Shengming!" The ministers responded in unison.
Li Xingyan on the side of the throne blinked, and there was a faint trace of worry in her eyes.
When the court meeting ended, she accompanied Zhu Zhaoyuan back to the inner palace, had dinner, bathed and changed clothes, and served the other party to sleep, only to find an opportunity to sneak out of the palace.
In the adjacent side hall, the palace maids on night duty stood quietly, and when they saw her come in, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
She looked at the red-clothed female officer at the head and found that it was an acquaintance, so she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you still on duty today?" ”
The pretty female official bowed down and responded: "Sister Jingxia is not feeling well, so I will change my subordinates today!" ”
"Oh! Come with me! The Queen Mother has an errand to tell you to do it! She said.
"Yes!" The female official gave a few words to the palace maid beside her, and then followed her out the door.
Walking to a secluded place, Li Xingyan looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, she quietly said to the female official with mental fluctuations: "You go and tell the family, the empire ......"
A look of surprise flashed on the female official's face, and she immediately calmed down and said respectfully: "Yes, the subordinates remember!" ”
Li Xingyan instructed a few more words, and handed her a purple jade plate, with this, no matter when she entered and exited the palace gate, she would not be interrogated.
Seeing the female officer leave in a hurry, she turned around and went back to the dormitory.
Two hours later, the news reached the emperor's palace.
"National mobilization?" Yun Haoyu frowned and said, "The Queen Mother's reaction was much faster than we expected!" I'm afraid the impact on the battle situation is a little unfavorable! ”
Su Shangqing said: "This is because our progress is too fast, although the queen mother is a little arrogant, but it is impossible for no one in the imperial court to understand, someone should have reminded her, prompting her to react and take the most correct measures!" ”
"But then the pressure on us is great!" Yun Haoyu sighed, "The war potential of the superpower is not something that we can easily compete with now!" ”
Feng Lanxi said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, everything needs a process!" Even if the mobilization order has been issued, it will take at least two months before it can really play its due role! We still have time to do a lot of things! ”
