"I allocate 50 billion taels of gold to the imperial navy every year. What do you think of the Minister of the Navy?"
Just when everyone was thinking about it, the emperor's words shocked everyone.
The Secretary of the Navy opened his mouth to fight for 30 billion military expenditures for the Imperial Navy, and His Majesty immediately decided to give the navy a super military expenditure of 50 billion taels.
One dare to ask, one dare to give.
And it's not just giving as much, but over giving.
"Your Majesty, according to the plan that the minister and the admirals of the navy have discussed together, the annual military expenditure of 30 billion taels of gold is the most reasonable."
"Five billion taels of gold... this is too much."
Hearing what His Majesty said, Bismarck, who is the Secretary of the Navy and also the Admiral of the Navy, said quickly.
Obviously, the super military expenditure of 50 billion taels of gold not only surprised Bai Qi and other marshals of other services, but even Bismarck was greatly surprised.
If the previous 30 billion taels of gold were only close to the entire military expenditure of the empire in one year, then the funds of the 50 billion taels of gold had completely exceeded the military expenditures of the entire empire.
It is not a point, but a full 40%, which is nothing more than a sky-high military expenditure.
Suddenly receiving this sky-high military expenditure, this is not happiness in Bismarck's heart, but fear.
Thought it was His Majesty the Emperor who had any guesses about him.
...
"The Secretary of the Navy needn't say much. I say that 50 billion military expenditures are allocated to 50 billion annually."
"Just like the Secretary of the Navy said, the imperial navy will sail not only the imperial sea, but also the endless sea of ​​stars and the sea."
"The military expenses required to replace all the original warships with star warships for the Imperial Navy will be sky-high."
"In my opinion, 30 billion taels of gold is too little. Only 50 billion is more than enough."
"However, we are not without conditions. The empire allocates 50 billion taels of gold for the navy's special military expenditure each year, and the navy must produce results after three years."
"In other words, in three years, I want to see the entire Imperial Navy transform from a world fleet to a star fleet."
"If the navy cannot meet this requirement after three years, then I will consider reorganizing the imperial navy."
Seeing Bismarck's expression, Ying Ji also somewhat guessed the other party's specific thoughts, but still insisted on paying the navy a sky-high military expenditure of up to 50 billion taels of gold.
Not only that, Ying Ji also made a request, that is, the Imperial Navy must transform from the original world-class navy into a star fleet after three years.
On the surface, this request seemed insignificant, but it made many marshals, including the Secretary of the Navy Bismarck, couldn't help but take a breath.
Because they keenly captured the word recombination from the words of the emperor
What is reorganization?
After the dissolution, there will be reorganization!
What does this show?
Explain that if the navy cannot complete its mission in three years, His Majesty the Emperor will disband the existing Imperial Navy and form a brand new Imperial Navy.
Although there is no sharpness in the words, the consequences are terrifying, and the navy can't bear it at all.
"Please rest assured, your majesty, the navy will go all out. After three years, it will definitely hand in a perfect answer sheet for the empire to live up to your majesty's high expectations."
At this moment, Sora and Bismarck said at the same time.
Although the price is terrifying, Bismarck and the sky are confident that the Imperial Navy will complete its transformation within three years when the military expenditure is super surplus.
"Well, after those three years, I will personally review the Imperial Navy, and hope the Navy will not let me down."
Looking at Sora and Bismarck, Yingji said with a serious but encouraging smile.
"Not only the navy, from now on, the Imperial Army will also receive 50 billion taels of military expenditure and certain resources every year."
While the marshals such as Bai Qi and Ying Ji were a little envious of the treatment of the navy, the emperor's words directly made the two of them confused.
"Your Majesty...this...?"
The two of Bai Qi were puzzled, and they didn't understand why the emperor would give the imperial army the same level of military expenditure.
We must know that although the lion spoke loudly in the navy, the two of them could understand.
After all, the cost of the Star Battleship is extremely high, and even the lowest level Star Battleship can be used to arm at least ten empire reorganization legions.
The navy wants to replace all warships with star warships and has undertaken more and more diversified combat missions in the future, and the military expenditure required will be sky-high.
In this regard, although the two of them were a little envious and jealous of the Navy's treatment, they were still within an acceptable range.
However, the imperial army was given the same standard treatment in an instant, which made the two of them somewhat confused about the emperor's thoughts.
"You two don't have to guess, this military expenditure is for your army expansion."
"Now that the territories of the Great World of Shenzhou have been unprecedentedly expanded, the increase in level will also bring about the strength of the enemies that the Empire will encounter in the future.
"In order to cope with the increasingly complex forms of war and combat space in the future, we have decided to expand our army again under the size of the existing imperial army consisting of one imperial army, eight guards, eight captive regiments, and one hundred integrated legions.
"The number of army expansions is one hundred reorganized corps, the corps designation ranges from one hundred and one to two hundred, and the rank is tentatively set as the C army, and it will also be completed in three years.
"In addition, all the original Type A corps were upgraded to quasi-titled corps, all Type B corps were upgraded to Type A corps, and all Type C corps were upgraded to Type B corps."
Seeing the doubts of the two marshals Bai Qi and Ying Ji, Ying Ji also expressed her purpose.
That is army expansion!
Upon hearing His Majesty's words, both of them nodded.
Indeed, with the continuous improvement of the empire's strength, the enemies that the empire will encounter in the future will only become stronger, and the size of the army it needs to use will also become larger.
And now the empire will enter a short period of silence after merging several worlds one after another, and choosing to expand its army during this period of silence is undoubtedly the best result.
The size of the one-time expansion of one hundred reorganized corps also surprised the two of them.
We must know that the strength of an integrated full regiment is 600,000, and that one hundred integrated regiment is 60 million.
Once this expansion is completed, the size of the Imperial Army will be expanded to nearly 130 million, and it will be able to compete with the transformed Imperial Navy by then.
"Please rest assured, your majesty, the minister will do his best to complete this expansion for the empire and for your majesty."
After knowing the requirements of this strategic-level military meeting on the navy and the army, Ying Ji and Bai Qi both bowed and said, and took the order.
No one knows about the era of rapid development in the next 10,000 years.
But what everyone knows is that in the next few years, the imperial army will enter a rare state of large-scale strengthening.
