Chapter 509: National Mobilization (Part 2)
Chapter 509: National mobilization (Chief)
Zhu Zhaoyuan's words were extremely mean and she showed no mercy at all, even though she was evaluating people from her family. So many people in the hall looked a little unnatural because they also came from the Queen Mother's family.
Han Zining looked a little embarrassed, but he insisted: "Empress Dowager, the Starlight Empire has a great ambition. It is impossible to take lightly on dozens of star fields in such a short time, whether it is strength or luck!"
"Since their equipment and technical level has far exceeded ours and is enough to make up for the number of disadvantages, it will become an almost difficult task to complete if we want to completely defeat them in a short period of time! Therefore, it is imperative to increase troops!"
Zhu Zhaoyuan said impatiently: "Then, how many troops do you need to increase to successfully deal with that annoying emperor?"
Han Zining looked at his colleagues around him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I think it is not enough to defeat this invasion of the enemy. This country must be destroyed to ensure the long-term strategic interests of the Shufeng Empire! Therefore, a general mobilization order should be issued immediately, and the empire enters the wartime system! All resources are tilted towards the military field, so that this goal can be achieved!"
As soon as these words were said, they caused quite a stir in the hall.
The Imperial Capital Guard Commander Andur said with some dissatisfaction: "Genius General, are you making a big deal? Just for such a second-rate country, you want to let the entire empire enter the wartime system. How much strength do they have? Is it worth our attention?"
Chancellor Trump also expressed his opposition: "His Excellency General, the whole country is not a joke! There is no sufficient reason, neither the Cabinet nor the Parliament will approve of such a proposal!"
If such a superpower enters the state of preparing for war, the power it bursts out will be extremely terrifying! Just look at the performance of the imperial military-industry system in the previous two times, the Borostaus invasion and the war in southern Xinjiang, and the performance of the imperial military-industry system in the wartime state!
In the eyes of civil and military officials in the court, no matter how strong the Starlight Empire is, it is just a second-rate country that has not been born for a long time. Even if it defeats the coalition forces of the six major families by luck, it is impossible to have the strength to continue to wrestle with the Shufeng Empire! It is difficult to make them treat this country as a strong enemy like the Xuanluo Federation!
The emperor was bold and reckless in his military affairs. The final outcome was definitely not much better! Maybe it would not take long before the country's financial collapse!
Zhu Zhaoyuan said slowly: "Han Qing, tell me your reasons? Could it be that this Starlight Empire has really the strength to be on par with us?"
Han Zining glanced at Zhu Bin, who understood it and quickly said, "Empress Dowager, what General Han said is not an exaggeration! According to the latest information received, the forces of the Starlight Empire invaded this time are not the fleet of millions that they had previously believed, but more than three million! They are divided into two attacking empires. According to their marching route, the opponent's target is likely to be the entire Yunmeng Galaxy!"
"Because the opponent's marching speed is too fast, our military power there simply does not have enough time to gather and organize counterattacks! And even if more than four million fleets can gather in time, they do not have much advantage. In addition, the opponent's warships are better than us, so it is difficult for the empire to completely defeat the opponent's opponent's army alone, and it is even more difficult to destroy the opponent's country!"
Zhu Zhaoyuan's face changed and she asked in surprise: "Three million? Are you sure you are not wrong? How could the other party have so many troops! The performance of warships is better than ours. Is this the strength that a second-rate country may have?"
"Empress Dowager, although the Starlight Empire has been around for a short time, the industrial system in the southern Xinjiang region is extremely perfect! As long as he takes over, he will not slackew on a day, and the military strength that can be increased every month is a very huge number!" Zhu Bin explained:
"The more than 300 star fields are extremely rich and fertile lands, nearly half of which have been operated by the Xuanluo Federation for hundreds of years. The advanced industrial system is no less than that of the Shufeng Empire. He can use this to build a huge fleet!"
"What do you mean is that since he got that star field last year, his country has been in a wartime state?" Zhu Zhaoyuan asked in a deep voice.
"Yes! Even when he started his career in Prison Soul Star Sea, such policies have never changed!" Zhu Bin replied.
The Empress Dowager's face became more and more serious: "So, according to your judgment, how many fleets can that emperor have to rush from last year to now?"
"Based on the production capacity of major industrial bases in southern Xinjiang, it is conservatively estimated that it is 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. It is not possible to know what they did! But one thing can be confirmed is that the Shufeng Empire can no longer completely suppress them with its existing standing legion!"
The ministers were silent, and many people showed shock, obviously they were extremely surprised by this number!
The new Foreign Minister Filcon said in a flash: "It's not enough to have warships alone. Can their crews keep up with the training? The most important thing is that without a sufficient number of supernatural corps to cooperate, no matter how many conventional fleets are, they will not play a decisive role!"
Zhu Bin shook his head and sighed: "Master Feirkang, I thought so before! But until now, I realized that we were all wrong! As early as a few years ago, the Starlight Empire was implementing a large-scale cheap national gene optimization plan. Now the price of a level 4 gene optimization reagent is less than one-fifty of the normal market! The result is: The current high-quality population of the Starlight Empire is no less than that of the Shuofeng Empire!"
"Especially, in order to cultivate superpower corps on a large scale, their military will select a large number of teenagers from the public every month to perform free level 4 gene optimization surgery, and the scale is ten times that of ours!"
"One more important thing to be emphasized is that thanks to the genes of His Majesty the Emperor, the production cost of advanced genetic agents in the Starlight Empire is much lower than that of us, so the number of high-level psychics they can cultivate every year is also considerable! In addition, after Xue Chunfeng's defeat, a large number of elite legions of the original empire were all over him! Therefore, the emperor has much more chips than we estimate!"
Trump asked in disbelief: "Such a surprisingly large plan is astronomical! Their country's finances absolutely cannot afford such a consumption! Even we cannot implement a similar plan. How did that emperor do it?"
Zhu Bin spread his hands and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Lord Trump, I can't understand it either! Maybe it's a big force behind him secretly behind the scenes!"
The hall was silent again, and everyone was thinking. If the strength of the Starlight Empire had developed to such an exaggerated level, the outcome of this war would be less optimistic than expected!
Zhu Zhaoyuan pondered for a long time and said, "In this way, is it really necessary to order the whole country to mobilize?"
"Empress Dowager, this is the most reasonable choice at present!" Han Zining said.
Trump's face was a little bitter, but he couldn't say anything. With this order, the empire's financial situation would begin to deteriorate again! Naturally, his life as the Chancellor of the Finance Department is not so easy!
"That's it! This palace immediately issued an edict, that the empire entered a wartime economic state, and then transferred two million fleets from the Tianhua Galaxy system, and one hundred superpower legions went south, and they were all dispatched and commanded by Zhu Xinlong!" Zhu Zhaoyuan finally made up her mind.
"The Empress Dowager is wise!" the ministers responded in unison.
Li Xingyan, who was beside the imperial throne, blinked, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.
When the court meeting ended, she accompanied Zhu Zhaoyuan back to the inner palace. After dinner, bathing and changing clothes, she served the other party to sleep, and then she found an opportunity to sneak out of the bedroom.
In the neighboring side hall, the palace maids on duty stood quietly. When they saw her coming in, they hurriedly bowed and bowed.
She looked at the female official in red in the head and found that she was an acquaintance. She felt relieved and asked, "Is it still you on duty today?"
The pretty female official bowed and replied, "Sister Jingxia is not feeling well, so I'll 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 instructions to the palace maid beside her, and then followed her out the door.
Walking to the secluded place, Li Xingyan looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there was no abnormality, she quietly said to the female official with her mental fluctuations: "Go and tell your family, the Empire..."
A look of shock flashed across the female official's face, and then calmed down and said respectfully: "Yes, I remember it!"
Li Xingyan gave her a few more instructions and handed her a purple jade token. With this, she would not be investigated whenever she entered and exited the palace gate.
Watching the female official leave in a hurry, she turned back to the bedroom.
Two hours later, the news spread to the emperor's palace.
"Mobilize the whole country?" Yun Haoyu frowned, "The Queen Mother's reaction was much faster than we expected! The impact on the battle situation is probably a bit unfavorable!"
Su Shangqing said: "This is because our progress is too fast. Although the empress dowager is a little arrogant, there is no one in the imperial court. It should be that someone reminded her that she reacted and took the most correct measures!"
"But in this way, the pressure we face is great!" Yun Haoyu sighed, "The war potential of superpowers is not something we can easily compete with now!"
