Chapter 15: The Age of Military Officers, Preparations for War
After Long Ye left, Ye Chen put his hands behind his back, looking at the world map behind him, his eyes as deep as the abyss.
"Alas, I am still a little anxious, but when I think about the changes in the universe hundreds of years later, I want to lead the empire to defend against enemies outside the starry sky, and I also want to lead the Yanhuang civilization to stand at the top of the universe. I want too much, and the pressure is too great."
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, secretly cursing himself for being greedy.
Ye Chen felt uncomfortable when he thought about the original plot, in which the Chinese civilization was like a transparent entity in front of the Denor civilization, the Styx civilization, the Fiery Sun civilization and other civilizations, and did not even have a say.
Of course, it’s not that he has any feelings for the China in this world. After all, he is not from this world, so he has no feelings for the China here.
But he is now on Blue Star and has become an emperor. So, China will also belong to the Yanhuang Empire in the future. So, this matter is related to him.
Because now he has regarded Blue Star as his own territory, so he will be the one to face all of this in the future.
With his temper, how could he tolerate a group of aliens fighting around in his place without him even having a say?
He would never allow that to happen.
Time passed little by little.
An hour later.
Yuan Lan came in to report that all civil and military officials had arrived.
Hearing this, Ye Chen changed into his court clothes and strode towards the Hall of Stars.
Hall of Stars.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
"Everyone, I love you!"
Looking at the sleepy civil and military officials below, Ye Chen smiled and said, "My dear ministers, I'm sure you are all curious about why I suddenly summoned you here.
I see that everyone is very sleepy, and some of the old ministers are physically unable to withstand such torment, so I will get straight to the point."
Hearing this, the last few ministers who were feeling sleepy were suddenly frightened and instantly lost all their sleepiness and became extremely clear-headed.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile in his heart.
If there is any fun in attending court, it is that apart from watching the ministers quarreling over some things and sometimes resorting to physical combat when they get angry, it may be scaring some ministers occasionally.
“I believe some of you should know that the Kunpeng Project undertaken by the Imperial Academy of Sciences has been completed not long ago, and the aircraft developed by the Kunpeng Project will be put into use next.
The first people to use these planes will be the troops. Therefore, I plan to form an Imperial Air Force to protect the airspace of Yanhuang.
In addition, I am also planning to form a naval force to protect the territorial waters of Yanhuang.
Thirty years later, the three major imperial armies, the Imperial Army, Navy, and Air Force, are targeting the entire world and embarking on the path of imperial unification. "
Ye Chen's words were like a loud thunderclap, making the heads of all the civil and military officials buzz.
It is no secret that there are many countries outside the empire, because it has been taught in elementary school textbooks, so to be honest, they are very clear about the situation of countries around the world.
In the past, they had predicted in their hearts that Ye Chen would definitely go to war with other countries in the future, but they did not expect it to happen so soon and so suddenly.
However, after the shock, they were extremely excited.
Because once the war starts, it's time to make achievements.
Over the past two hundred years, the Yanhuang Empire has been developing quietly and has never had any conflicts with other countries.
If there was any conflict, it was probably when the empire was expanding its territory and reclaiming wasteland in the surrounding areas.
Therefore, it is estimated that other countries nowadays are unaware of the existence of the Yanhuang Empire.
Looking at the excited ministers below, Ye Chen couldn't help but nodded in his heart. It's good to be excited. I'm not afraid of you being excited, I'm just afraid that you are not excited.
The empire had been too peaceful for so many years that the generals were so frustrated that their swords were almost rusty. If it weren't for the surrounding natives, they would have gone crazy.
Now, when they hear that a world war is about to start, they are the most excited.
Afterwards, Ye Chen did not beat around the bush and directly arranged what the empire needed to prepare for war.
At the same time, there are a series of appointments.
In the next thirty years, the empire must devote all its efforts to accumulating strength for the war. Otherwise, when the war breaks out, it will be troublesome if the logistics cannot keep up.
By the time the court meeting was over, it was already dawn outside.
After the civil and military officials walked out of the Star Hall, they were all full of energy and not feeling sleepy at all.
They walked together in twos and threes, talking about what happened at today's court meeting.
"Congratulations, General Xiao and General Qin. Your Majesty has entrusted you with such an important task. In the future..."
Looking at the ministers who gathered in front of them, Xiao Feng and Qin Yu couldn't help but look at each other, with smiles in their eyes.
Because among the ministers who surrounded them this time, there were a few old guys who used to look down on them, the warriors. In the past, when they wanted to talk to them, these people ignored them.
Now, everyone comes to curry favor with him, which is interesting.
Although Ye Chen did not favor civil officials over military officials, but instead favored military officers, the empire had been at peace for too long, and over time, the status of military officers became somewhat awkward.
After all, there were too few wars, so the military officers could not stand out. Even if they fought against the surrounding natives, it was like beating chickens, with no sense of accomplishment.
Now that a world war is about to begin, anyone who is not a fool knows that the military attaché system will take off in the future.
The era of military officers will continue for a long time to come.
Therefore, these old foxes are all ready to build relationships with the military attachés and take advantage of them.
It would be even better if we could get married, so that the relationship would become closer.
"General Xiao, I have a granddaughter who is 28 years old this year. She has admired General Xiao very much since she was a child. I hope you can meet her in a few days. Maybe in the future our two families will get married."
Xiao Feng: "."
What a shameless old man! I am of the same generation as you, but you want to be my grandfather.
When the ministers nearby saw this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
He immediately began to rack his brains to think about whether there were girls of the right age in his family so that he could recommend them to these military officers.
All of a sudden, the military officers who used to be invisible became the popular ones.
Faced with the enthusiasm of these old foxes, they were somewhat overwhelmed.
Finally, he couldn't bear the entanglement any longer and had to run away.
Inside the Star Hall, Ye Chen listened to the noise coming from outside and couldn't help but smiled and shook his head.
"These old foxes are really shameless."
Then Ye Chen turned and left the hall.
He will be busy in the next few decades. After all, starting a world war is not easy.
Especially, there are still the remnants of Denor on Blue Star, as well as the threat of the scum Sumali. Although he has angels to deter, he also needs to have his own trump cards and cannot rely solely on external forces.
Therefore, he had to find a way to exchange a powerful weapon from the system so that he could be prepared if there were any accidents.
