Chapter 1502 1504 HighTime goes by day by day, and it's already a year later.
The mobilization of the Alanhill Empire continues, with countless soldiers armed and transported across the border.
Countless planets have been transformed into Defensive Arrays, and more planets stand in great numbers with the development.
Because of the population explosion, many planets have become prosperous, all races fuse together, and there is a thriving scene everywhere.
However, because of the continuation of the state of war, the speed of economic development has actually slowed down. The means of production of the overwhelming majority were eventually assembled into military production.
Invincible-class battleships one after another joined the sequence of the space fleet. These battleships cruising in groups on the border of the empire have become a common sight for everyone.
Because of the needs of combat, the Alanhill Empire also built a large number of transport ships to carry soldiers. Loaded with puppet droids and interstellar paratroopers, these transports accompany the fleet as mobile reinforcements.
As soon as war breaks out in either direction, these troops will immediately rush to the War Zone to fill the border.
In order to prepare for this war that does not know when it will break out, and it may not break out, the wealth of Chris, the Imperial Family, has shrunk by one third.
A lot of money has been turned into various types of battleships. In a sense, the emperor of the Alanhill Empire, Chris, is now more like a gambler, a crazy gambler who bet on his own net worth. .
If this war breaks out, the Imperial Family will become richer and more powerful, and the Imperial Family's prestige will become more terrifying within the Alanhill Empire.
The Imperial Family, which is already like a god, if it really predicts the war again and leads everyone to prepare for the war, then Chris, the emperor, who claims to be a god will not be questioned.
However, if Chris guessed wrong, the war didn't break out in the end - looking at it now, Chris, the founding emperor, may well become the first bankrupt emperor of the empire in the end.
"I'm exhausted!" Dez groaned as he sat down on the sofa in front of Chris.
He grabbed the water glass prepared for him and drank the Elf Moonshine Wine with ice cubes in it.
Then he took a long breath and said, "You know what? Just now, the number of Violent-class cruisers in the Empire has exceeded that of Exploration-class destroyers!"
"You now have thousands of cruisers cruising in the universe." He grabbed the wine glass without hesitation, and poured the wine into his own glass: "Have you ever thought that waiting like this will make Are you bankrupt?"
"I thought about it, and my finances told me that the day of my bankruptcy is coming soon." Chris flipped through the documents in front of him and replied without looking up. .
"Yeah, you know, I calculated your investment a little bit, if it were me, it would be in bankruptcy and liquidation now." Dez pointed to himself exaggeratedly.
Although he is already the prime minister of the empire, in the eyes of outsiders, the majestic under one person above ten thousand people within the empire can be said to be the true power of the ruling party.
But Dez has always been a peer to Chris. Perhaps, only in front of Chris, he is a real "youngster".
Although he is thirty years old, he is still too young for an interstellar chancellor - after all, the vice chancellor of the empire is hundreds of years old!
If anyone heard Dez say this at this time, they would be so surprised that their jaws would drop.
If Dez, the second-richest chaebol in the empire, could say that he would go bankrupt, you can imagine what a huge sum of money it is!
And such a huge sum of money was placed in the Imperial Family, which only made Chris "feel the pressure of bankruptcy".
In fact, Chris is far from going bankrupt. With such consumption, or more and more consumption, Chris estimates that he can last for another three years.
In other words, in the next three years, before the war breaks out, he will almost be completely cold.
Of course, there are ways to do it, at least many people are helping him find ways, including Dez in front of him.
"Even with my assets, as well as the assets of consortiums and rich people who are willing to follow us, we can last for four years at most! In other words, after four years, we will all be It's going to be liquidated," Dez said.
Chris was moved to hear him say that. Because although Dez has been in charge of the economic development of the empire, in the bones should oppose the policy of the empire's military, but as a friend of Chris, Dez still said something like "even if you add me".
This shows that Dez is still willing to give up all his assets and make a crazy big bet with Chris.
Even though, all of Dez's assets are now countless times the assets of the Lontate family!
The patriarch lineage of Lontate was still alive now, they watched the wealth of the Lontate family, as the empire expanded, became as numerous as the stars in the sky. It's a pity that these wealth have little to do with them, because they all became Dez's vassals back then.
"It's not time to touch your wife," Chris joked and put down the document in his hand.
Dez doesn't need to keep any more wives now, because he has too many wives - the real sense of wives and concubines, the imperial prime minister's current harem, more than Chris More than ten times!
He is young and handsome, and with amazing wealth and power, he is like a beauty harvester.
Chris now has 5 sons and 4 daughters, Dez now has 39 sons and 22 daughters - Chris once joked that if Dez continues to give birth like this, it is estimated that the property will not be divided enough.
"Passive defense is not enough! We sit at home and wait for the enemy to come, which is a passive response after all." Dez shook the glass of wine he poured, Opened his mouth to persuade Chris.
"Is this what you said in your heart, or did someone else tell you to tell me?" Chris also poured himself a glass of wine, looking at the faint brilliance of the Moonlight Wine with magical energy, he asked.
Dez laughed and said to the head, "You didn't know me for the first time either, and if it wasn't in my heart, I wouldn't have told you. Press it down, or they will come to talk to you with my head."
Chris nodded, and raised the glass to Dez: don't worry, I won't let people carry it Your head came right in front of me."
"That's really good news!" Dez raised his glass and drank what was left of the glass.
After drinking the wine in his hand, he poured himself another glass. In fact, in the position of Prime Minister of the Empire, very few people have been able to make Dez drink three drinks in a row. Usually, as long as he says he doesn't drink anymore, no one will persuade him.
However, sitting in front of Chris, Dez still wanted to be more natural. He felt that he was still the young sidekick and the crazy businessman who had staked his entire fortune.
After he poured the wine, he continued to Chris: "Sit and eat and eat in the end... This is no joke, if Your Majesty is not rich enough to control the entire empire, then the chaos will be. It will follow."
At this point, he was Chris' old friend, not an imperial chancellor. He just listened to him and continued: "We should take the initiative to find the location of the enemy, and strive to let the war break out in the enemy's control area. This is the consistent practice of the Alanhill Empire."
"More than a year. , the empire has not carried out any external expansion. The war has not broken out, and our weapon production is still going on non-stop, which is a huge consumption." Before Chris could speak, he continued to talk to himself. Because of his loyalty, he has the right to speak freely before his monarch.
Chris doesn't speak, just listens quietly, his role now is that of a listener, listening to the voices of those under him.
Meeting at this time, not two people preparing for a meeting. It was a totally personal meeting, and Chris just wanted to hear from Dez and share his thoughts.
He is an emperor after all, and he cannot completely ignore the thoughts of his subordinates. But up to now, there are not many thoughts of his subordinates that he can truly consider.
"I believe the threat you told me, even if others don't believe it." Dez, who was still holding the wine glass at this time, continued: "However, I believe it is a It's one thing, how to do it is another thing. We can't put all our eggs in the same basket..."
He was going to give Chris some of the thoughts of the following people: "Actually , we need to consider too many things. Even I heard that many consortiums or wealthy businessmen are considering another probability."
"A lot of possibilities." Chris smiled , because he knew many things, many things Dez wanted to tell him.
As the emperor of an empire, Chris would probably be dead long ago if he couldn't control every dark corner of the empire.
No one who walks on the stage of history and leaves his mark is a real idiot, and most of the stupid decisions of unfathomable mystery are just a one-sided expression of the lack of analysis of the situation at the time.
Dez nods, and then shooks the head with a wry smile: "Yeah, there are many possibilities. For your choice, it may not be too many, but for them, there are still many, many choices. "
"It's just that they don't know the truth, so they think there's a lot to choose from," Chris said.
He and Dez both knew the truth about the crash of Fengling 004, so they both believed that the other party might be a powerful group.
But other people don't know, and Chris doesn't have to let everyone live in panic. At least no one knew it was so comprehensive, everyone just thought that the battle of the Higgs 5 planet made the emperor vigilant.
"I don't know the truth, sometimes it's a kind of happiness isn't it?" Dez said with a wry smile, "At least, they are still full of hope now."
"I I know, Intelligence Section provides a lot of information in this regard, I just don't want to deal with it." Chris also poured himself a glass of moonshine wine and said.
The magical glow of light blue is crystal clear and near-transparent in the glass, giving the drink an unfathomable mystery sophistication.
Dez continued: "Some of these people are actively preparing to get the most out of your industry after it collapses. Some are actively preparing to make a way out for themselves."
Chris laughs, seemingly dismissive of these things: "I really heard about it, very interesting idea. I heard someone is building a spaceship big enough, if the empire goes wrong , and escaped to the unknown universe with enough population."
Hearing that Chris knew about this, Dez's face also showed a smile that was no longer so helpless: "Yes, they care. This is called the final plan, which was proposed by a businessman and has already raised 20 million gold coins... However, the speed of raising funds, I think it is more like a scam."
Chris continued He said indifferently: "Almost, if those who are willing to pay know how expensive a spaceship is, they know that they may be fooled."
You know, the real spaceship is very Expensive, to the point of despair. 30 million gold coins are placed in today's Alanhill empire, but it is really impossible to build a super spaceship with amazing self-sustainability.
Because even a giant-class spaceship with several millions of tons does not have high self-sustainability in fact - it is impossible for such a spaceship to cruise outside for a long time without the supply of resource planets.
Hearing Chris say this, Dez asked curiously, "So, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the second option after failure?"
"No , In fact, I don't think that this kind of escape has any effect. But I will seriously consider your suggestion, maybe if the front line is tight, I will build a spaceship and take everyone away." Chris said with a smile .
Dez nodded and said to Chris, "I know what you're thinking, but you simply don't think you're going to lose." "Why would I lose? With so many armies and so many Star Domain forces mobilized, what's the point of my life if all such empires fail?" Chris asked rhetorically.
Without waiting for Dez to answer, he continued: "I always feel that the purpose of my existence is to lead you to glory. If we are destined to perish, then I will inherit the legacy of Huaxia and establish This empire, is not that absolutely does not have meaning?"
"You are right, this is the meaning of what we have come to this day!" Dez, nodded with sincerity, agreed: "Respect... Our significance!"
"Congratulations to our victory!" Chris raised his glass and said solemnly to Dez.
The two of them finished drinking the glass and found that the wine bottle was empty. Chris knew that Dez had something to say, so he stood up voluntarily, walked to the front of the wine cabinet, and asked: "Keep drinking?"
"Of course, it's been a long time since we've been drinking and chatting like this, and it feels good, so...why not?" Dez had a look on his face from three drinks. A little rosy, said with a smile.
“Moonshine wine?” Chris asked.
"Well, it tastes good just now, so you can drink such an old-fashioned moonlight wine here." Dez reminisced about the smooth taste just now, said with a smile: "Even if there is more Money doesn't necessarily allow Elf Race to bring out the best."
"Not necessarily others, but if you ask Andrea to ask for it, it's not a problem to get a room. ' Chris took a bottle of Moonshine from the wine cabinet, then smiled and nodded Dez with his finger.
Dez spread his hands, and said rogue: "I don't want to waste the favor of Her Royal Highness on drinks."
"Okay, okay, can I speak? "Chris walked back and filled Dez's glass first.
There are not many people in this empire who can make him take the initiative to pour wine. Apart from a few imperial concubines, it is estimated that there are only a few old ministers left to allow Chris to pick up the wine bottle by himself.
Dez didn't panic, but said to Chris, "I'll do the rest, or I'll be embarrassed to continue drinking."
"Okay!" Chris was not pretentious , just a word back to Dez.
Then Dez started talking about what he had come here to talk to Chris: "If you want to keep going like this, the best way to do it is to expand the empire and take advantage of these new peripherals. Star Domain, as a payment, repays those consortiums that provide materials."
This is the purpose of his this time, that is, he hopes that Chris will choose some safer ways to tide over the possible crisis: "This It's more reasonable than constantly using the treasury funds..."
"You know, once the war breaks out, the land outside the defense line may become a scorched earth," Chris told Dez. .
"Yeah, I know." Dez nodded kindly: "I also know that you have always been a kind monarch in your heart, and that has never changed."
Not waiting for Chris to speak, he continued: "Actually, we can Treat these guys who are not treasonous but always begin to stir in a crueler way."
"It sounds pretty bloody." Chris motioned Dez to continue.
Dez didn't continue to detour, and said: "We can sell the land outside the core defense line of the empire, throw all these planets out, and let those guys eat them!"
"If When the enemy arrives, they are the eyes outside our defense line, our buffer zone, and can buy us enough time." He cited the advantages of doing so: "These outer planets can provide early warning, which can allow us to advance in advance. Be prepared...a small loss can remove the destabilizing factor for us and increase the odds of winning the war."
He said, extending a second finger: " And if the enemy doesn't come, they can also get the benefits, and your economy will continue to maintain and will not collapse."
"It sounds good, but you and I both know that the enemy is sure It will come, when the time comes we will lose some manpower and national power first because of today's compromise!" Chris said.
He put down his glass, and without waiting for Dez's persuasion, he continued: "You know it! With all my strength, I still can't guarantee the victory of the next war! If I waste some Resources, I am afraid that when I lose the war, I will regret it, and I will not be reconciled!"
"Your Majesty!" Dez drank the wine in the wine glass again, and the wine glass slammed on the desk and sent out A crisp sound. Then he opened his mouth and persuaded Chris: "Some people keep it, it's more than failure... Throwing them out as cannon fodder is the best choice!"
"What you said, I It's not that I haven't thought about it." Chris also drank the moonshine wine in his glass, put down the glass, folded his hands and said to Dez: "Maybe, I should announce everything we know to the public and let them make their own. Choice."
"It's useless! Your Majesty! You should know very well that even if everyone knows the truth, someone will still make a different choice." Dez shook his head: "This is a time Gambling! You and I, and our followers, are blocking the outbreak of war... Then naturally, someone will bet on the probability that the war will not break out."
He extended the hand, pointing to He pointed to the top of his head: "You know, once the war doesn't break out, how much more money will they make? They will control countless planets, control more economic areas, become richer and more powerful!"
"At that time, your prestige will decline, and your wealth will also shrink significantly. They may even take the opportunity to control the entire empire and make you a puppet emperor!" Dez pointed to himself: "And me, Wagron and the others will become losers and be expelled from the power center of the empire."
Chris nods and understands Dez's words very well: "You are right. , so I should give up these lunatics and let them have a chance now to develop those Star Domains outside the country?"
"Yes, I think you can sell those areas and let them taste the benefits, Use their money to support the Empire's expansion and preparation for war." Dez filled himself and Chris with wine.
Chris thought of an "enhanced version" of this plan, and he said, "It's better, I'll be more aggressive...so that they can go abroad to develop a new Star Domain, but I only approve puppet robots to leave the country!"
Dez was stunned when he heard Chris's thoughts, and then he decisively gave a thumbs up, expressing his prostrate oneself in admiration to Chris: "High! It's really high!"
