Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 3: Immediately across the first
Bo Jinchen’s words moved all the ministers’ hearts. The Liberia region has been completely brought under the control of the empire, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, and the situation has not really been brought under control. It is turbulent, except for those conservative nobles who have always cherished their homeland and the nobles who have lost their interests in this regime change, the most dangerous is the gradually demobilized military class. Although the empire also adopted various strategies and measures to resolve their inner grievances before disbanding these troops, and even allocated a large amount of funds from the empire's treasury to pay for their disbandment, but for them, they lost their honor and loss. Lost the occupation to make a living, lost the goal to fight for, lost the foundation of survival, just making up for money is far from enough, they need a goal that can make a living, and for the empire to let It is obviously impossible for them to become the imperial army again. It is too great a threat to the empire to let such a force transform into the imperial army.
The Dorton Legion has played a huge role as an important auxiliary force stationed in Wodi. In the Japanese garrison, except for the Imperial Ninth Army as an emergency team, the daily suppression and disposal are mainly handed over to the Dorton Legion. This allowed the Doton soldiers to finally get a chance to wash away their shame on the Crescent Peninsula on the land of Japan, and even the Marine Corps was happy to let the Doton Legion complete some tasks that should have been performed by the Marine Corps . It was precisely because of this that Bo Jinchen was inspired to recruit disbanded troops from Heathrow and Kaman, and selected some officers who were willing to serve the empire to reorganize. Let them go on an expedition to the New World and cooperate with the Marine Division of the Empire that is currently stationed there and the Imperial Army that is about to leave to carry out the task of defending and developing the Empire's territory. This kills two birds with one stone, why not do it?
"Well, the suggestion made by Jinchen is very good, I agree, and the Privy Council will immediately send staff to handle it!" Wufeng who connected with this joint was quite straightforward. The New World will become more and more important to the empire, especially the rich resources there are like a cornucopia for the empire, and with the rapid increase in the number of immigrants, it will sooner or later become a potentially huge market for the development of the empire's industry and commerce To strengthen and expand the empire's territory and interests in the New World is firmly supported by everyone, and as the emperor of the empire, he is even more eager. "However, I want to remind you that the empire must maintain absolute control over this army, otherwise I would rather not have this army! The selection of officers will involve the Imperial Security Bureau and the intelligence department to ensure that they must be absolutely loyal to the empire. You can put it in the second place. You must not allow people with bad intentions to mix into the army!"
Weighing the meaning of Wufeng's words, Bo Jinchen nodded and said: "Then what is your Majesty's arrangement for the equipment of this army?"
"Well, what's your opinion on Jinchen?" Wufeng asked back.
"What I mean is that the production tasks of firecrackers and thunderbolts in military enterprises are already quite tight, and it is impossible to produce enough firecrackers and thunderbolts for this army in a short period of time. According to the configuration of traditional weapons and equipment first, as an auxiliary force, it can be regarded as passable. Wait until the New World and then gradually change according to the actual situation."
Bo Jinchen's words deeply touched Wufeng's mind. It is definitely impossible for such an army to master advanced weapons now. Once the muzzle is reversed, it becomes a big joke.
"Well, let's do it according to this principle. It's not that we don't trust the Liberians, but we ensure our control over this team. Fortunately, as long as they go to the New World, they won't be afraid of their dissent. A team without logistics It is impossible to protect the army." Wufeng nodded in agreement, "This matter is settled. What else do you need to do?"
"Your Majesty, Navy Commander Lei Cangpu is here!" Lei Cangpu can be said to be the busiest official in recent times, following the continuous adjustment of the military direction of the empire. The importance of the navy has become increasingly prominent. During the war against Japan, the newly equipped Great Eastern Fleet and the Great Southern Ocean Fleet jointly defeated the Japanese fleet and completely cleared the empire's obstacles in the Great Eastern Ocean. For this reason, the entire navy Also proud, the navy, which has always been regarded as a weakness, has finally begun to embark on the road to prosperity, and Lei Cangpu is also very proud.
However, Lei Cangpu also knows that it is far from enough for the navy to be king in the Eastern Continent. As an ally of the empire, it will not pose a substantial threat to the empire, but Lei Cangpu knows that with the current level of the imperial navy, it is far from enough to defend the interests of the empire in the New World, and even to have the right to speak in the Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea that is consistent with the status of the empire. Insufficient, there is a considerable gap in confronting traditional naval powers such as the Kingdom of Leeds, the Famini Empire, and the Kingdom of Barozi. The formation of the West Sea Fleet has just started, but judging from the vision of His Majesty the Emperor and the Privy Council, the construction of the West Sea Fleet cannot stop, but the importance of the New World is increasing day by day, and the competition between the powers of the West Continent for the New World is also becoming increasingly fierce. To better defend the interests of the empire in the New World, it is imminent to build a new fleet. Otherwise, when the navy is really needed, the imperial navy is not fully prepared, and that is the responsibility of the imperial navy.
"Talk!" Wufeng knew that the navy has always been the focus of the empire's attention, and now it has become a headache for the empire's Ministry of Finance. The huge investment has made Finance Minister Tian Yi ask him several times to consider slowing down the construction of the navy as appropriate. speed.
"I implore Your Majesty to agree to form the Latin Ocean Fleet to ensure the consolidation of the empire's interests in the New World."
"Oh? Cangpu, how is the formation of the West Sea Fleet going?" Wufeng glanced at the persistent commander-in-chief with a half-smile. The Ministry of Finance increased the allocation of funds, and the dignitaries of the Ministry of Finance avoided seeing him as if they saw the **** of plague.
"Return to Your Majesty, everything is in progress according to the progress. If Mr. Tian can let the people below allocate more funds, then I believe that the construction speed of the West Sea Fleet can be accelerated." Of course Lei Cangpu understands what His Majesty the Emperor meant, but He didn't care about that much anymore, he only had enough to eat if he had a thick skin.
"Hey, Cangpu, your mouth is too big. The Ministry of Finance is not just for your navy family. It has to ensure the operation of the entire empire. Do you know that your navy family has already eaten it? What is the foundation of the empire's finances?" Wufeng snorted and said angrily.
"But Your Majesty, as I said earlier, the construction of the navy is listed as the top priority, and it must be guaranteed first." Lei Cangpu argued hard.
"Isn't there a priority guarantee? Your navy is changing faster than the army. The generals of the army have opinions. The Privy Council knows to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and push the responsibility to me. I'm enough. Off-centered." Wufeng glanced at the two envoys of the Privy Council who lowered their heads and pretended not to hear, and said calmly.
"The navy is too poor. If we want to build it, we have to build the first-class one in the mainland. This is a last resort. I believe the army can understand." Lei Cangpu replied without blushing: "I also know that the current empire is not rich. Some people may say that I am making progress, the West Sea Fleet is still under construction, and now I want to propose the establishment of the Latin Ocean Fleet. The appetite is too great, but what I want to say is that in order to defend the interests of the empire, the construction of the navy needs to be further accelerated. Make great efforts to speed up the progress.”
Looking at the other party's appearance, he vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal. This was obviously supported by Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen secretly. Cangpu's cannon barrel was launched as a gun, of course Lei Cangpu did his part, but Lei Cangpu's words were not unreasonable. If the interests of the New World were to be fully protected, a fleet must be established, and the powers of the Western Continent had Despite the geographical advantages, they have already started to build a naval base in the New World. This news has reached Wufeng~IndoMTL.com~ The empire is far away from the New World, and the West Sea Fleet, which is relatively close, is still under construction. Under such circumstances, it is imperative for the New World to establish an independent fleet, but this requires a large financial expenditure.
"Well, the need to defend the interests of the New World you mentioned is a big topic, and it sounds reasonable, but this year, a series of large-scale projects in the empire to improve people's livelihood are fully launched, and the investment is quite large. Now the empire's finances can support it. Is it?" Wufeng threw the topic to the two prime ministers of the State Council and the Minister of Finance.
Before the two prime ministers spoke, the Minister of Finance, Tian Yi, came out with a bitter face and said, "Your Majesty, the empire's fiscal expenditures are too large this year. Several projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood of the Government Council have seriously overrun, and there will be a huge amount of money by the end of the year." It is really impossible to afford such a large expenditure in the deficit, and now the imperial finances are tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, please be aware of it.”
The atmosphere in the hall became a little tense. The words of the Minister of Finance undoubtedly clearly rejected the military's mention of Jiangshan Meirenzhi--3 chapters 3 chapters 21 Latin Ocean Fleet
Everyone knows that Ling Tianfang and Bo Jinchen are standing behind Lei Cangpu, but Finance Minister Tian Yi is also a tactful person. party's request. Jiangshan Meirenzhi Chapter 3 Sweeping Liuhe
