Chapter 1649: ""

The things in the palm are not necessarily under control.
Aoyama Gangchang (Japanese cartoonist, the pinnacle of "Detective Conan")
Marcus’s Ministry of the Interior started a bad start, and then the ministers of other ministries quickly became active; if Bai Feng fully agreed with the demands of these ministers, let alone the Treasury now only 350 million left Gold coins, even if there are a total of 3.5 billion gold coins in the treasury, are not enough for these ministers who have big lions to speak.
"Cough...cough..." The ministers in the hall were about to lose control. Bai Feng quickly coughed twice to express his dissatisfaction at this time; the ministers who heard the coughing could only stand unwillingly. Going back to the original position, I dare not make such a brazen request like just now.
Bai Feng said one by one: "Ames, the four northwestern provinces are indeed located at the border of China with the Deman Kingdom, the Dessau Kingdom, and the Rheinland Business Union. Since you said that the external situation here is too complicated, you must focus on strengthening your intelligence department. The strength here can avoid the infiltration of neighboring countries. Then you tell me, how much capital does your intelligence department need to invest to avoid the infiltration of neighboring countries?"
Although Ames could not understand Bai Feng's thoughts like Marcus before, he knew that Bai Feng's mood must not be very good now, so he decisively lowered his request: "Your Majesty, you think you must Only 20 million gold coins can be invested to ensure that our Ministry of Intelligence has enough power in the northwest to block the penetration of neighboring forces."
This year, the Ministry of Finance and the Royal Chamber of Commerce jointly allocated up to 450 million gold coins to the Ministry of Intelligence. Because the secret guard, which monopolizes 320 million gold coins, only develops outside the empire, the tragic deaths who received 50 million gold coins With the net of 80 million gold coins, the development of intelligence forces used alone in a province is basically about two million gold coins.
Ames is now asking for 20 million gold coins from the central government for the development of the Elegy and the Nets in the four northwestern provinces. On average, each northwestern province has reached 5 million gold coins, which is two or three normal development funds of a single province. Times; however, considering that the situation in the northwest region is indeed much more complicated than in other regions, this request by Ames is not excessive.
"Okay, if you want 20 million gold coins, then I will give you 20 million gold coins!" Bai Feng said on the spot: "Salah, after today's negotiation, your Ministry of the Interior immediately allocated two thousand gold coins to the intelligence department for them to use. The intelligence forces in the four northwestern provinces were rebuilt."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty's Grace!"
"Crest, since you think that the weaponry and equipment used by the garrison corps and the city defense corps of the four northwestern provinces must be raised to the level equivalent to the empire's standing corps, in order to ensure that the four northwestern provinces have the strength to deal with external crises; You tell me how much money your military department needs to invest to complete the establishment of the garrison regiments in the four northwestern provinces and the reconstruction of the local urban defense forces."
There are examples of Marcus and Ames. The Duke of Kleist was more confident in his speech. He spoke calmly and said: "Your Majesty, according to the calculation of our military department, build four new garrison troops and It will cost a total of 8.5 million gold coins to rebuild the city defense forces of the four northwestern provinces. If your majesty agrees to increase the weapons and equipment specifications of these soldiers, another 2.5 million gold coins will be added."
Kleist's answer made Bai Feng frown: "The total strength of the four garrison corps is only 40,000, and the total strength of the four provincial and city defense corps is only 65,000, just to replace the 100,000 soldiers with standing corps. We need 2.5 million gold coins for weapons and equipment?"
"Your Majesty, just to replace the 100,000 soldiers with standing legionary weapons and equipment, only one million gold coins are enough; our army’s idea is to equip each city defense army that guards important cities with more Defensive equipment, these defensive equipment are very expensive."
"Salah, allocate 11 million gold coins to the military department!" As long as the money is not spent, Bai Feng will not be stingy.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty's Grace!"
"Okin Lake, you said that the imperial center must increase its investment in the reconstruction of the order in the northwestern region. As long as the social order in the northwestern region is restored first, then the restoration and reconstruction of the entire northwestern region can be quickly put on track. ?"
The self-perceived Duke Auchin Lake, a somewhat exaggerated Justice Minister, can only insist on his own opinion when facing Bai Feng’s doubts:
Your Majesty, the minister has always believed that only a good social order can promote better people’s livelihood. development of."
"Is it?" Bai Feng asked lightly, making Auchin Lake's heart suddenly rise up and down. Just one second before he was ready to admit his mistake, Bai Feng suddenly smiled: "Actually, I think so too Yes; then, how much money do you need?"
Secretly relieved, Auchin Lake said with a smile that was even uglier than crying: "Your Majesty, because the social order in the four northwestern provinces has been destroyed by the rebels, our Ministry of Justice needs at least five thousand Ten thousand gold coins."
"Well, it is the most difficult to rebuild the broken trust between people, especially this kind of trust relationship involving the government and the people, it is even more difficult, but 50 million gold coins are still a bit more." Bai Feng After careful consideration, he ordered to Salah: "Salah, your Ministry of Finance will first allocate 35 million gold coins to the Ministry of Justice."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Okin Lake, your Ministry of Justice will first use these 35 million gold coins to restore the social order in the four northwestern provinces. If it is not enough, you will report to me, and I will meet your needs as much as possible." Lake promised.
"Your Majesty Xie's Grace!" With Bai Feng's promise, even if he didn't get his wish, Aukin Lake was still satisfied.
After the requirements of the major departments such as the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Information, the Army, the Ministry of Justice, etc. have been met, the Foreign Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Duke Ribbentrop, hurried forward before the other ministers who reported something: "Your Majesty, The minister has something important to tell."
"But the King's Special Envoy of Deman Kingdom is here?" Bai Feng, who roughly guessed something, converged his smile.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Duke Ribbentrop explained unhurriedly: "The King's Special Envoy of the Kingdom of Deman has submitted the state book they carried to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday evening. In addition to the diplomatic rhetoric, most of them questioned why our country condoned the Detroit army of Dietrich to enter the chaotic territory through our territory, and our country’s collection of Kotarelli’s rebel army."
"Question?" Bai Feng said with a cold smile: "If their state book of the Demand Kingdom is in a questioning attitude in dialogue with our country, then after you go back today, let this Demand Special Envoy get out of it, I would like to see What qualifications do they have to question our country!"
"His Majesty……"
The Duke of Ribbentrop just wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Marquis Quintus, the first minister of the military department: "Your Majesty, anyway, our five royal corps are all in the northwest of the empire recently, so let them five corps Go to the border with Deman."
"Preliminaries!"
