Looking at the doubts of the civil and military officials in the court, and looking at Yingji's expectant and encouraging eyes sitting upright as the emperor, Bismarck also knew that he could not remain silent like this anymore.

Only by dispelling the doubts of the civil and military officials of the court and gaining the respect of all civil and military officials can you show that Your Majesty’s decision is correct and highlighting your own value.

So Bismarck, a blond and blue-eyed man with European Germanic ancestry, was also the first non-Chinese person in the empire to serve as the head of such an important power organization.

And when he opened his mouth, he was not a man's speech, but a fluent Chinese accent blurted out.

"Your Majesty, all ministers, Bismarck believes that you all have some understanding of the ocean."

"In the ocean, there are countless huge resources, and it is also a necessary way to all parts of the world!"

"Only by developing the navy and controlling the ocean can we connect the fragments of the world into one piece and promote the formation of a trend of globalization. This is beneficial to the empire with a huge total resource but a serious shortage of per capita resources."

"Besides, the land area accounts for only 21% of the earth, and the ocean area accounts for 79% of the entire earth's area."

"So among the major forces on earth, as long as whoever has an invincible navy and an invincible ocean fleet first, then whoever controls the ocean will control the world."

"Not to mention the areas around the empire, they have been almost completely controlled by the empire."

"But outside the empire, on the distant Europa continent, or even the whole world?"

"According to my knowledge, on the Europa continent, we will take the Athenian city-state civilization, which is second only to the empire, as an example!"

"Athens city-states have small civilized resources and few people, but their territory is several on the verge of the ocean. Therefore, they also have a powerful navy, with a total of more than 200 ships of all sizes and sizes, and their maritime combat capabilities far exceed that of the empire with almost zero control over the ocean today."

"In addition, the Empire's future goal is the heavens and all worlds, and among the heavens and all worlds, there is definitely a plane world dominated by the ocean area like the earth."

"Only by then, the empire with a powerful naval force can gain control of the sea during that kind of world war, and gradually gain the initiative in war, thereby guiding the direction of war and even capturing the entire world."

"The army has a limited combat scope and is simply impossible to replace the navy's combat functions and possess the unique nature of the navy."

"So, it is urgent to build an imperial navy. It is best to put it on the agenda now, and today's best."

In the end, Bismarck could not hide his urgent desire to build a navy immediately.

No one in the empire can compare to Bismarck with his understanding of the importance of the ocean and sea control and his love for the navy.

Silence, dead silence!

After Bismarck's words, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked and silent. The quiet needles in the court and the country were heard, and every imperial minister was thinking about Bismarck's words.

They are not fools. Although the ancients had traditional ideas and focused on land first, they were instilled with memory through knowledge crystals. Naturally, they knew that in the world, the ocean area really occupies a large part of the ocean area, and the land area is less than half of the ocean area.

Therefore, they could understand that what Bismarck said was actually true.

Only now did they realize that having a powerful navy was so important to the empire.

No, not only the empire, but also for any sea-side force, it is very important to have a strong maritime force.

It is not an exaggeration to even be called the top priority of life and is irreplaceable.

...

"Minister Sun Wu - Support Mr. Bismarck as the Navy Minister!"

"Mr. Jiang Shang - Support Mr. Bismarck as the Navy Minister!"

"Minister Zhao Yong - Support Mr. Bismarck as the Navy Minister!"

"minister……"

All civil and military officials said one after another, and they changed their slogans without exception and opposed it and supported it.

In fact, Bismarck spoke up his heart and added waves of operation as fierce as a tiger.

Finally, with Bismarck's already strong personal charm, he finally successfully dispelled the suspicion of civil and military officials in the court.

The civil and military officials of the court also changed from the opposition just now to the supportive attitude of supporting Bismarck as the Minister of the Navy.

Moreover, the ministers in the court also understood that they were laymen who were doing things like naval, and they could not do it well by force. Instead, they might be convicted for delaying the empire's future journey and His Majesty's naval interest.

If the official hat is not guaranteed and the tower of the sky cannot be entered, then there is really no future.

Rather than doing this, it's better to leave it to an expert

Moreover, just because of Bismarck's words, the civil and military officials of the court have never heard of it.

But they knew that His Majesty must have known that this civilization was second only to the Athenian civilization of the empire.

At the same time, it is also understood that Bismarck's position as the Minister of Navy established by His Majesty is unshakable.

It is useless to object, but it is better to be a favor and make friends with this future empire star.

Therefore, for various reasons, Bismarck eventually became the position of Navy minister among the two newly formed military departments and became the upstart of the empire, which was simply a step forward.

...

"Left Prime Minister, right Prime Minister, what is the imperial treasury now? Can it still support the construction of a new type of army?"

In Xianyang Palace, Yingji's words broke the brief calm.

"this……"

Shang Yang and Wei Ran looked at each other, with a look of embarrassment in their eyes, but they still said: "Your Majesty, after the development and investment of another world, the renewal of the imperial army, the implementation of the Wuwu Plan, and the implementation of the Academy Plan."

"After the salary expenditure of officials in various places, the Empire's tax consumption this year has reached 899. Now there is still 512,100 gold left, and there is not much left. I am afraid it will not be able to support the huge amount of funds needed for the Imperial Navy to build!"

Shang Yang and Wei Ran, who jointly took charge of the empire territory, both knew Ying Ji's plan and wanted to spend a lot of money to build the imperial navy.

But the ideal is full and the reality is skinny. Now the empire really has no money, so the remaining 500,000 yuan will be left for emergencies.

If all the remaining money is invested in, the Empire will be equal to zero income this year, and it will be a total fiscal deficit.

In short, the empire's finances are now in a dilemma.

Looking at the embarrassment on the faces of the two prime ministers, Bismarck also nodded in understanding. No one knew the massive amount of funds needed by the navy better than Bismarck. It was simply a bottomless pit.

Moreover, even if the remaining 500,000 gold in the national treasury is put into it, it will be a drop in the bucket for naval construction like a gold-swallowing beast. It may be a drop in the bucket. Maybe it will be gone as soon as it is invested in.

"Besides, the Imperial Navy's foundation is zero now, how much money will it cost?"

Thinking of this, even Bismarck, who is passionate and ambitious about naval construction, has no idea.
