Chapter 1546: ""

Needless to be alone. Because there must be someone in this world who is struggling towards you.

Bai Feng’s conversations with the three chiefs of the intelligence department continued until dawn, and then the Duke Ames went directly to the newly-listed central headquarters of the intelligence department, and Marquis Cicero, the Marquis of Hades, took them by their side. The confidante will leave the Imperial Capital straight away.
Bai Feng, who has not slept all night, has not had time to take a rest. The Duke of Kleist, the Secretary of State, and the Duke of Marcus, the Minister of the Interior, who have left the palace less than five hours, have joined together; Bai Feng, which must focus on national affairs, can only immediately Interview them.
"Your Majesty, this morning, 12,000 artisans from Leiyun Base and their families have arrived in the Imperial Capital. According to imperial practice, these artisans deserve to be directly managed by our military department." Duke Kleist said when he spoke There was a touch of anger.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Military Department does have the responsibility for the manufacture of imperial weapons and equipment, but these craftsmen were drawn from the Thunder Cloud Base under the original Eastern Metropolitan Government, and the various departments of the Eastern Metropolitan Government were ordered by our Ministry of the Interior. Taking over, therefore, he thought that the Thunder Cloud Base and its affiliated craftsmen should be managed by our Ministry of the Interior." Duke Marcus responded without any weakness.
The Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of the Army were two distinct divisions, but recently these two departments have often fought over the battle for assets left over from the former Eastern Metropolitan Government; in Bai Feng, he did not formally appoint Krest to serve as Secretary of the Army and Marcus to serve as the interior. Before the minister, the conflict between the two departments had not yet become serious, and now it is okay, and both have evolved into two princes.
Duke Crest and Duke Marcus, who have no grudges in the past, are not only the head of one of the five families of the empire, but also the prospective father-in-law of Bai Feng. Their status is unusual; although the latter has no prominent identity and A huge family, but it is Bai Feng's most trusted system general. His position in Bai Feng's heart is only higher than that of Duke Crest.
But whether it is the Duke of Crest or the Duke of Marcus, the Secretary of the Interior, their current mentality has changed with the change of their identity; this is not to say that they are no longer loyal to Bai Feng, but they all have The interests of the respective departments need to be fought, and without affecting the fundamental interests of the empire, the interests of the departments are what they need to protect most.
Faced with the dispute between his two heavy ministers, Bai Feng was not eager to determine who was right or wrong. He first asked Marcus: "Marcus, Hess in charge of the Thundercloud base, is now an official of the Ministry of the Interior. Report the latest situation of Thunder Cloud Base."
"Your Majesty, Earl Hess has reported the latest situation of the Thundercloud Base."
"Then tell me first, what is the status of the Leiyun Base."
"Follow your orders, Your Majesty!" After a little thought, Duke Marcus reported truthfully: "Leiyun Base now has 329 senior master craftsmen and more than 25,400 ordinary craftsmen. The apprenticeship of craftsmen is nearly 40,000, and can produce 5,000 sets of heavy weapons and 15,000 sets of ordinary weapons and equipment each month, and can also make 10,000 longbows and 500,000 arrows."
"Well." Bai Feng nodded slightly and then turned to the Duke of Kleist. "Kleist, the equipment manufacturing department of the Imperial Army, how many artisans there are now, how many weapons and equipment can be produced per month , What is the quality of the weapons and equipment produced?"
Duke Krest, who also stayed up all night in the military, familiar with the status of the military, like several treasures: "Your Majesty, four of our twelve equipment manufacturing centers under the military have been completely destroyed by the war, and three In the northwest, southwest, and western regions of the Empire controlled by the rebels, the remaining five equipment manufacturing centers have also been damaged to varying degrees."
"The total of these five equipment manufacturing centers in our military department is only 145 senior master craftsmen, more than 23,900 ordinary craftsmen, and nearly 80,000 apprentices; but because of the serious damage to the facilities, Only 12,000 sets of ordinary weapons and 40,000 sets of inferior weapons and equipment can be produced every month, and 120 types of siege equipment and 20 sets of magic siege equipment can be produced."
"After the reconstruction, the Imperial Army will completely eliminate the inferior weapons and equipment that are indiscriminate. In the future, the equipment manufacturing center in charge of your military department will stop producing inferior weapons and equipment." Bai Feng ordered with a slight frown.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duke Kleist accepted the order first, and then replied: "Your Majesty, all five equipment manufacturing centers of our military department have been changed to produce ordinary weapons and equipment. The output will drop to less than 30,000 sets, which is a bit too much compared to the needs of the imperial army."
What the Duke of Kleist’s words mean, Bai Feng is naturally impossible to hear; in fact, at the beginning, the reason why Bai Feng did not give the Thundercloud base to the military department under the control of the Duke of Kleist, but The basic purpose given to the Ministry of the Interior, under the supervision of the Duke of Marcus, is to guard against the dominance of the military department. After all, the Duke of Krest, who is in charge of the military department, is a member of the five major families.
The first general of the current military system, General Marquis Quintus, will sooner or later succeed the Duke of Kleist to become the imperial military minister; only then will Bai Feng be assured of all military matters. The military department manages itself.
Bai Feng suddenly said to Marcus: "Marcus, the scale of the Thundercloud base has grown to a bottleneck. The next major task of your Ministry of the Interior is to move the Thundercloud equipment manufacturing center from the Thundercloud base and develop it separately; My goal for you is to develop to the point of producing 10,000 sets of heavy weapons and 30,000 sets of ordinary weapons and equipment within three years."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Crest, the 12,000 artisans from the Thundercloud base can assign them to your military equipment manufacturing center, but you must also assure me that your military must be in the empire in the next three years. Establish at least eight large-scale equipment manufacturing centers."
"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to establish eight large-scale equipment manufacturing centers, but the training of artisans is not easy; even if our military department can establish these eight equipment manufacturing centers within three years, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach thunder. The output of the cloud equipment manufacturing center."
"You can rest assured about this." Bai Feng said his arrangement: "In the future, the Thundercloud Equipment Manufacturing Center, which will further expand production capacity, will provide full-time weapons and equipment for the Royal Knights, Royal Legions, and Royal Forest Corps. The duty is to provide sophisticated, reliable and durable weapons and equipment for the Imperial Standing Army, the Standing Army, and the City Defense Generals."
"Your Majesty is wise!" The Duke of Crest, whose pressure dropped by half, immediately promised: "The minister assured His Majesty that in the future, each equipment manufacturing center of our military department can produce 2,000 sets of heavy weapons and equipment every month. Ten thousand sets of ordinary weapons and equipment!"
