Chapter 399: Accident (M)
Time passes imperceptibly. More than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhong Mingrui has returned from the Empire, bringing with him a large number of construction materials that the kingdom urgently needs! Fill up a large warehouse that was built in advance!
The main battleship, as well as a full set of production lines for other types of warships, a wide variety of large-scale industrial machinery and equipment, four-star or above ability equipment, various rare resources needed for the promotion of the ability, and highly concentrated nutrients! A large number of precious metal minerals and more!
As long as the kingdom can use it, Zhong Mingrui can buy as much as he can! Yun Haoyu gave him a crystal card of three trillion source crystals, except for the purchase of energy, which was spent on one-third, the rest became all kinds of materials!
Such a huge order was smashed, and most of it was given to the big consortia under the name of the imperial family, but some important members of the royal family had a lot of favor for this nascent regime! The original voice of dissatisfaction with the marriage between the two countries is much quieter! After all, no one has trouble with money.
The reason why Yun Haoyu spends money so lavishly is also out of consideration for the future situation and to take precautions!
As the war in the countries of the Star Sea further heats up, the prices of all kinds of military and civilian materials will only get higher and higher! And it can only be exchanged for hard currency such as source crystals, energy crystals, and cherished minerals!
And the kingdom will inevitably face a series of large-scale wars next, and the demand for various war resources is almost bottomless! Even if there are many reserves, and the clone organization spares no effort to help behind it, it can't make him feel at ease!
The Shuofeng Empire will soon use troops on a large scale, and once the war enters a stalemate, domestic prices will definitely skyrocket! The control of war materials will be stricter, and even yourself will not want to buy anything at that time!
Only now, when Yuanjing can still exchange things, buy as much as you want! Accumulate as much capital as you can for the kingdom! is a reasonable choice.
Of course, there is a better way, which is to rob someone else! As long as your fleet fights for strength and can destroy a country, then everything on the other party's territory will be yours, and you don't have to spend a penny!
A few months have passed, and the Kingdom's preparations for a new round of military operations are nearing completion, and it won't be long before the army can be used again!
The only thing that made him a little regretful was that the rebellion in the twelve provinces of the southern Xinjiang of the empire had not been completely quelled, and although Fang Yuqing had arrived in southern Xinjiang, he still had to wait for the matter over there to be finished, and the originally scheduled visit was bound to be postponed.
Counting up, the two haven't seen each other for a year and a half since the last time they parted, and they really miss her! I don't know if the other party has the same idea in their hearts.
However, this is not entirely a bad thing, the kingdom can seize the time and expand the territory to dozens of star fields, so that the difference in status between the two countries is not too great!
In the Imperial Study, the ministers gathered to exchange views on the future direction of the kingdom's expansion. Feng Lanxi called up the star maps around the kingdom and explained them to the officials present one by one:
ββ¦β¦ The Hellsoul Star Sea, centered on the current kingdom, is about 4,000 light-years away, and it is the Shuofeng Empire! There are hundreds of small and medium-sized forces in between; Next to the empire, the southeast location is the Xuanluo Federation, of course, with our location, it should be called the northeast! It's about 8,000 light years away! β
"To the east of the Hellsoul Star Sea, the Shalestins Alliance is fighting fiercely with the Republic of Surya! Of course, these two big countries are more than 20,000 light years away from us, and there are countless small and medium-sized forces separated by them, so don't worry about it for the time being! β
"If you take the current location of the kingdom as the central axis and divide the Prison Soul Star Sea into two, most of the forces distributed in the eastern region are relatively scattered, and there are only a handful of big forces with more than fifty star domain territory!"
"And in the western region, in addition to the five major forces that are dominant in the Prison Soul Star Sea, there are more than ten other large forces, all of which have territories above the Fifty Star Domain! And it has existed for a long time, and its comprehensive strength is not inferior to the current kingdom! β
"Beyond these great forces, and further west, there is a Jedi in the Prison Soul Star Sea: Ximeng Star Abyss! At present, the army of the Tiloa Empire is over there, confronting the coalition forces of many forces in the Prison Soul Star Sea! β
"In the south of the kingdom, in addition to the Duchy of Stuavizi and the more than a dozen small forces attached to it, there is also a larger kingdom, the Lanofi Kingdom! It has a territory of fifty-one star fields, and it has existed for more than a hundred years! Compared to us now, we have strong strength! β
"How much military power do they have?" Yang Wentao interjected and asked.
"Originally, their standing strength was 700,000 warships, but for more than a year, the situation in the Star Sea has been tense, and they have expanded their army, and their current strength has more than doubled! Reach 1.5 million warships! The number of Ability Legions is 30 legions, about 1.7 million people! Feng Lanxi said.
Tian Xuanhao nodded: "More than our existing troops!" It's a bit tricky, but it's okay! The minister is confident that it can be solved, as long as the other party does not have too strong hole cards! β
Su Shangqing said: "Near the capital of their kingdom, there are also large military fortresses!" Moreover, I heard that they are related by marriage to the Rockefeller Empire on the other side of the Star Sea? I don't know if that big country will react at that time! β
Feng Lanxi pondered for a moment and analyzed: "This is unlikely. After all, the distance between the two countries is too far, more than 60,000 light years apart, not to mention that the great empire is now fighting with its neighbors! How can you care about it? β
Bernard immediately said: "Then our current goal can lock on this country?" Of course, before that, you have to take down the Duchy of Stuaviez! I heard that in order to protect itself, this small country has signed an offensive and defensive alliance treaty with the Lanofi Kingdom! β
"Maybe we should put this opponent aside and pick some more suitable targets! For example, a few small forces in the east of the kingdom! Girard said cautiously, "The combined territory of these forces also has more than thirty star fields!" If you first incorporate it into the kingdom map, you will have a greater certainty of dealing with that Lanofi kingdom! β
This sounded reasonable, and everyone was a little moved.
Crassus smiled: "I want to remind you that the kingdom is not particularly in need of those poor and backward territories today!" What we need is a rich star field with a certain economic and technological foundation, and such a territory will be more significant for the improvement of the kingdom's national strength! β
"Therefore, I think we should immediately dispatch the main fleet to destroy these two countries in the shortest possible time, and after we succeed, our strength will not be much better than the five major forces of the Prison Soul Star Sea!"
Everyone discussed for a while, and finally Yun Haoyu made a decision and decided on the goal of the kingdom's troops: first take the Duchy of Stuaviez! By the way, raid the Lanofi Kingdomββ
The Kingdom of Yilong, no, has now been renamed the Empire!
The emperor, who had just completed his wedding, also began to think about the goals of the empire's next round of foreign conquests! At the same time, after many days of hesitation, he finally made up his mind to physically wipe out the Starlight Kingdom Lord who made him extremely uneasy by assassination!
In the imperial palace, Ji Yuxuan handed over a handwritten letter to his confidant guards and ordered: "Go!" Invite Deacon Xiao of the Yanyue Organization to replace me! β
