Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 1332: The plan to wipe out the entire Spirit Hall family! (3K)

Asking for recommendations and monthly passes

……

This statement was truly earth-shattering, and its boldness was much more extraordinary than the action taken by the Security Council.

It should be noted that the population of Douluo Continent exceeds 2 billion, but there are only more than 2 million soul masters, and the vast majority of them are ordinary people with no soul power.

This means that the remaining large number of people without soul power all have the potential to become practitioners of other professions and embark on a different path of cultivation.

Of course, there are some barriers to entry into these warrior systems.

Whether it is physical talent or talent in thinking, insight, or mental strength, it all plays a screening role to a certain extent.

Even so, with such a huge population base on the continent, the number of potential warriors is still immeasurable and boundless.

These remarks not only shocked the other people present, but even Chen Zixiu, Bo Xian'er, and Xia Qingyun could not help but look stern and sit up straight.

After all, diplomacy is an extension of politics, and military is an extension of diplomacy.

The Security Council focuses on coordination and cooperation at the diplomatic level, while Chen Xiaojun's advocacy of reshaping the professional warrior training system is undoubtedly closely linked to the military.

Chen Xiaojun looked radiant at this moment, and looked like he was in charge of the country.

He continued, "As for the scale and number of colleges, let's take the Southern Five Counties as an example."

"I plan to have a vocational and technical college in every medium-sized city within ten years, and one basic college in every small city. We will build more in middle and main cities based on actual conditions."

"The number of students in each basic college is initially set at around 1,000."

When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed.

Xue Chuxin looked even more embarrassed, and said a little dryly: "Xiao Jun, have you ever calculated how many warriors this will train?"

"I know!" The young man raised his hand and pointed to the huge map of the Shero Mountains hanging on the wall.

His sleeves were waving, and he seemed to have written a few lines in cursive script: "The five southern counties have a territory of 500,000 square kilometers, and nearly 400 small and medium-sized cities."

"Each city will build a basic college, which can accommodate 400,000 people in six years."

"By then, everyone at the foot of Xie Luo Mountain will be wearing armor, so why should we fear the beast tide?!"

……

Taking the five southern counties as an example, the total area is 50 square kilometers.

Each county has sixty to seventy small cities under its jurisdiction, and as many as nearly a hundred; although the number of medium-sized county cities is small, there are still six or seven.

According to rough estimates, there are at least 350 small cities and more than 30 medium-sized cities in the five southern counties, totaling nearly 400 cities.

Counting only the basic colleges, there are more than four hundred of them.

Based on the scale of 1,000 students in each academy, this means that 400,000 students will receive training to become professional fighters.

The population of the five southern counties is over 3000 million, so the number of students accounts for a little over 1% of the total population.

If this model is extended to the entire province of Fasno, the number of warriors will exceed one million.

Such a large group of warriors is really terrifying, and even gives people a feeling that the people are violent and warlike, almost warmongering.

Lu Xueying raised her bare hand slightly, and the star chain on her wrist made crisp sounds as she moved, and the rings and bracelets jingled like golden swords striking each other.

She frowned slightly and asked softly, "Xiaojun, have you carefully calculated the money required for this?"

She was right. Putting aside the various political considerations, from an economic perspective, although the expenditure of the Warrior Academy is far less than that of the Soul Master Academy, the financial expenditure for such a large-scale construction and operation will undoubtedly be an astronomical figure.

According to preliminary estimates, even ten billion gold coins per year is not enough.

Chen Xiaojun, however, looked up to the sky and laughed, his voice shocking Liang Chen: "Grandma, have you ever paid attention to the West Market of Chang'an?"

"In the blacksmith shops there, apprentices have to pay thirty copper coins a day as tuition. Even so, there are still countless people who sell their belongings just to seek a future."

He suddenly flicked his sleeves, and the strong wind opened the east window, and the lights of thousands of houses outside the window came into view: "These 400,000 mouths to feed are also 400,000 hammered swords!"

The moonlight filtered through the open window and splashed onto the map on the wall. The winding Shero Mountains, as he pointed, looked like a dark dragon that was about to be tied up with chains.

The passion is so great, yet it seems to be accompanied by a bottomless abyss.

……

Xia Qingyun finally opened his eyes, and the star map was reflected in his eyes: "The Spirit Hall will definitely not tolerate this situation."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a sharp sword being drawn from its sheath, pointing directly to the core, and seeing the outcome of the matter very clearly.

All the titled strong men in the hall were shocked, their eyes filled with surprise.

The reason why the Spirit Hall can become the most powerful overlord in the world is because of the hundreds of thousands of grassroots spirit masters that it directly or indirectly controls.

These soul masters are the foundation and confidence of the Spirit Hall, supporting it to call the shots in the Douluo Continent.

However, once the warrior system is fully rolled out, the situation will change dramatically.

The province of Fasno alone can train a million warriors. If we look at the entire continent, how staggering will this number be?
Now, if all other systems are added together, I don’t know if there are 10 million of them, but they cannot shake the status of the bottom-level soul masters.

But thirty or forty million?
This is by no means an empty statement. By then, what will the hundreds of thousands of soul masters be compared to such a huge group of warriors?
The vocational education system promoted by Chen Xiaojun recruits civilians and transforms them into mass-produced war machines.

This move was actually to circumvent the civilian soul master system that had been monopolized by the Spirit Hall for a long time, and it undoubtedly planted a foreshadowing that was enough to subvert the world in the continental structure.

Shen Tianjun slammed the table beside him with both hands. The tremendous force caused the green smoke in the incense burner to instantly disperse into a nine-palace formation, curling and swaying, as if telling the complexity and subtlety of the situation.

He laughed loudly, full of pride: "What a great conspiracy!"

“If the Spirit Hall obstructs us, it will cut off the path to advancement for hundreds of millions of people, and will surely arouse public indignation. If we leave it alone, then our Chen family will have the power to reshape the world, enough to rewrite the history of the continent!”

His words made many people's faces change instantly.

Xue Churan even cried out in shock: "This is shaking the country, Xiaojun!"

She was the lord of Chang'an, deputy governor of Fasno, a member of the royal side branch, and was granted the title of the eldest princess.

Even though she disliked the Imperial Capital Royal Dao Faction and had a close relationship with the Chen Family, as if they were one, she would not do anything that would shake the foundation of the country.

In fact, the same is true for Xue Chuxin and Xia Qingyun.

The mountain wind continued to blow past, making a rustling sound.

Chen Xiaojun was about to say something when Chen Zixiu raised his hand to stop him.

You have to know that the Chang'an Military Region led by Xue Chuxin, including the field army, county garrison army, and city defense army, totals no more than 50 people.

Once the warrior system planned by Chen Xiaojun is formed, its power will far exceed this.

The Tiandou Empire will naturally not sit idly by and watch this happen.

If the Chen family controls such a huge power, it will undoubtedly shake the foundation of the empire, which is something the empire cannot tolerate.

Not only will the Tiandou Empire be unable to rest assured, but even several nearby kingdoms and provinces such as Barak will also be in a state of panic.

After all, such a powerful force is itself a huge source of chaos, which may trigger a storm that sweeps across the continent at any time.

……

At the beginning, Chen Xiaojun devoted all his energy and worked day and night for the affairs of the Jinyiwei.

At that time, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the outlines of other professional warrior systems among the group of retired soldiers. In an instant, it seemed as if thousands of stars were shining before his eyes, and everything became clear.

It was the middle of the night, and the sound of gongs and drums echoed in the silent night sky.

Chen Xiaojun suddenly stood up from the couch, and the green jade pendant on his waist knocked over the teacup due to the large amplitude of his movement. The tea spilled everywhere and the fragments flew everywhere, but he was completely unaware.

He was fully focused on forging the soul master's iron guards, but he forgot that among all living things, there were billions of unsharpened ordinary irons lurking.

He couldn't help but sigh at the narrowness of his past thinking and the obstruction of his knowledge, which almost caused him to miss such a God-given opportunity.

At dawn the next day, the sky was still a little hazy, and Chen Xiaojun went straight into the front mansion.

The morning mist was thick, covering the entire Duke's front mansion like a veil.

Looking up, I saw the blacksmith, with his upper body naked, swinging a heavy hammer, hammering the steel again and again, sparks flying everywhere, like falling stars;

The doctor held the silver needle in his hand, and with his skillful technique, he sealed the acupuncture points and defeated the enemy. The silver needle flashed with cold light at his fingertips, like a lively spirit.

Even the chef who usually worked busy in front of the stove, at this moment, could make a sound of splitting the air when swinging the butcher knife, and the shadow of the knife flashed, which was frightening.

Chen Xiaojun looked at these scenes, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart. He couldn't help but stroke the paperweight on the table and sighed, "For thousands of years, the soul master has been the only one in power, and he has overshadowed the glorious military path."

In fact, he was not completely unaware of the existence of other professional warriors, but the information he had come into contact with in the past was fragmented and unsystematic, which failed to attract his sufficient attention.

Compared to the soul master group which accounts for only about one thousandth of the mainland's population, the warrior system is the powerful force that can truly set off the vast ocean of people's war.

He is a role model of nine-year compulsory education.

When he keenly realized that the warrior system contained huge opportunities, he had to get a big piece of it.

However, he also knew in his heart that this move might be like opening Pandora's box, which contained both tempting opportunities and unpredictable flaws and disasters.

Take the population red line for example. The warrior system is a way for lower-class civilians to improve their combat effectiveness.

But once the number of this system grows on a large scale and exceeds a certain proportion, it is very likely to give birth to a completely new class - a military class between soul masters and the lower-class civilians.

Just imagine, as this emerging class grows stronger, will the conflicts and contradictions between it and the upper soul master class due to class differences eventually turn into a war?
But Chen Xiaojun didn't care.

In his view, history is constantly changing and developing, and these are things that need to be considered thousands or even tens of thousands of years later.

In fact, in the eyes of historians of later generations, Chen Xiaojun's strategy was called strengthening the army, but in fact it brought civilian armed forces under the control of the system.

He seemed to be promoting the rise of his warriors, but in fact he was secretly building an invisible cage with the merit system, binding them tightly inside.

This is the "using chaos to control chaos" strategy that has been debated by historians for thousands of years, and its pros and cons are difficult to determine.
