Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 299 Military Project
boom!
300 pounds!
Look at the numbers displayed on the screen in front of the ordinary youth, Joseph nodded, and then a special soldier stepped forward.

Accumulate power... swing your fist... boom!

600 pounds!
Nodding again, Joseph looked at a soldier who had just been enhanced with A-level enhancement liquid.

Accumulate power... swing your fist... boom!

1800 pounds!
Shocking the audience, Joseph couldn't help but stand up, because the numbers on the screen in front of him really shocked Joseph, a semi-master of domestic boxing, even if he had reached the peak of his dark strength, he could only punch about 800 pounds. , and the strengthened soldier in front of him has more than doubled his strength in just one month.

"Your Majesty, this has just been strengthened. If you adapt to your own strength, I believe that breaking through 2000 pounds will not be a problem. Moreover, he has improved his whole body functions, such as speed, eyesight, sense of smell, brain, and body resistance... His body has different strengths. All aspects are seven times higher than ordinary people, and three to four times higher than trained fighters and athletes."

Hearing this, Joseph couldn't help but applauded, and then all the military generals in the room applauded together. This is really a major reform for the military, and super soldiers are no longer a dream.

"How much is the cost of a grade A strengthening fluid?"

"16 euros, for the Kingdom of Nord."

Why do you want to add a Nord Kingdom on purpose, because the drug planting base transformed by the genetic farm of the Nord Kingdom makes many Chinese herbal medicines in the Nord Kingdom very effective, which is far from comparable to those on the market, and the output is also relatively high, so The cost is thus reduced.

That's right, although the strengthening liquid has certain technological means, it is fundamentally still some ancient Chinese medicine secret recipes that play a role. Technology is just an auxiliary means, and it is just a mass production of some things that could not be mass produced in ancient times.

"16 euros... If other countries want to make a similar A-level strengthening fluid, how much will it cost?"

"30 euros, a conservative estimate, but they don't have this possibility for the time being, because it will take some time for their formula to be perfected. The only thing we need to be careful about is Huaxia."

Just as Joseph was about to nod his head to speak, a military scientific researcher stood up and answered: "Your Majesty, Mr. Supervisor, the real combat power cannot be calculated in this way. American weapons are more developed than ours. In a real competition, we do not have an advantage." .”

One word awakens the dreamer, this is the first in the new century, the military equipment is the first, no matter how powerful the body is strengthened, if there is no effective armor protection and powerful weapons, then it is useless, just like the swords used by the Qing Dynasty in Asia a hundred years ago Against guns in general.

Joseph didn't speak but looked at the military scientific researcher, because he knew he still had something to say, even if the director of the military project wanted to speak, Joseph stopped him.

"If we convert everything now into data, our super soldiers are already at the top of the world in terms of physical enhancement, because their combat effectiveness is calculated according to the hitting weight, and the combat effectiveness of our soldiers is already more than double theirs. , but this is not the case in actual combat. A good weapon can triple the combat effectiveness, and it may even become the result of three of us fighting one, and eventually our entire army will be wiped out."

Joseph still didn't speak but looked at the military project director. The military director had no choice but to nod: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, our energy is limited..."

"Don't tell me this, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"I have already reported to the cabinet, but... but Prime Minister Eric replied that the cabinet has financial difficulties, and there is no way to allocate too much money to continue to support the research of related weapons."

Although Nord has many talents, its finances are fixed. Charlie is doing his best to develop the economy. At this time, he can't spend much money to support the military's plan.

No one dared to say these words to Joseph. On the one hand, Crown Prince Charles and the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, on the other hand, Joseph. If they stand in line, it is not difficult to solve it, but who is willing to take the initiative to say this, which is obviously suspected of snitching?
Joseph also understood this, so he didn't speak, but asked his assistant to call the Cabinet Office. The phone was connected and the pleasant voice inside did not make Joseph feel better.

"Send Eric to my study, quickly, immediately!"

Hanging up the phone, Joseph left the military project base without saying a word, and headed straight for the palace. Seeing the back of the convoy leaving, several military project leaders couldn't help but start to worry.

On the other side, the Cabinet Office:

The office assistant who was reprimanded as soon as she answered the phone was very wronged, and at the same time she was also a little angry. Who on earth dared to speak like this? Could it be that he didn't know...

"Eileen, Your Excellency the Prime Minister asked you what His Majesty the King meant on the phone."

Your Majesty?Elena, who came to her senses in an instant, felt weak in her legs. Fortunately, the phone in the prime minister's office was connected through two lines. Eric also knew in time that a call had just been made and it was Joseph. Otherwise, Elena wouldn't be able to make up for the delay. return.

"His Majesty asked His Excellency the Prime Minister to go to his study as soon as possible."

The secretary who got the answer was about to leave, but when she reached the door, she paused and said without turning her head: "Next time, don't answer the call so quickly, make sure the Prime Minister is not in the office and then answer it."

Elena, who had not been on the job for a long time, was very aggrieved, but no one cared what she thought, because the assistants were all focused on Joseph summoning Eric.

He came to the office in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, Eric saw Joseph, who was not looking very good. Instead of getting angry, Joseph asked him to sit down, and then closed his eyes and asked: "The military's matter is very urgent, I need Cabinet has pledged its full support."

"The military...but His Majesty."

"I don't need to explain, you just answer now, yes or no!"

Eric knew he was in a predicament, but could he veto it at this time?Obviously not, so he could only bite his lip and agree.

Seeing the other party's statement, Joseph's face recovered a little, and he said: "I have roughly estimated the royal family's finances. The 1000 billion euro project funds needed can support 700 billion, and the remaining 300 billion euros will be raised by the military. It needs you, the Prime Minister, to solve it."

Less than 300 billion... Eric breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just like this, then it would be simpler, but if this is the case, why just now...

Suddenly Eric realized something. These days, he doesn’t take King Joseph very seriously. Charlie is Joseph’s son, yes, he is the crown prince of the Kingdom of Nord, but even if Charlie becomes King of Nord, then The power of the country is still in the hands of Joseph, because compared with Charlie and the Ragnar family, the citizens and military are still loyal to Joseph.

This is a small warning. If I don't take the project approved by Joseph to heart next time, I guess it will not be as simple as shouting to the study.

In fact, Joseph also has his own sufferings. Charlie can't say anything, because his point of view is economy, economy, economy!Charlie is very smart and precocious, but he is also very stubborn, just like his mother, who has no idea that this is not the best time to develop the economy.

Although the countries have not engaged in an arms race, such an important project cannot be delayed at all. If some premonition advantages accumulated with great difficulty are delayed because of this, the Nord Kingdom will regret it.Involuntarily, Joseph began to imagine what would happen if Flender was sitting in that position at this time, would he be able to relax a bit?
Of course, such thoughts were quickly thrown away by Joseph, because it was undoubted and unchangeable that Charlie was the Crown Prince of Nord.

Where is the way out for the future?Joseph didn't know or know that as the head of state, he was under more pressure than anyone else. At this moment, he began to understand why the emperors throughout the ages all died so early.

This is a kind of responsibility, a responsibility to the citizens of the whole country. If one is not careful, the car may overturn, and once the car overturns, it will not be him or his family who will die, but millions of citizens will die. Loyal Nord Citizen, Joseph could not but be careful, could not be less cautious.

At this time, Charlie was also on the phone with Eric. Charlie was very angry, very angry, because he was notified just now that an economic project he approved had just been stopped because of insufficient funds.

Insufficient funds, insufficient funds. Yesterday Eric promised that there would be no problem with the funds, but now he said that the funds were insufficient. Is there anything else he didn't know about it?

Called with anger, but Eric just hawed and hawed.What did Eric say?Could it be that your father intercepted our 300 billion euros of funds, and I really can't afford the money, so I can only use these not too important economic projects?

"I need an explanation from you, Prime Minister Eric!"

"His Royal Highness, the funds for the military project are tight, and there is still a gap of 300 billion euros. In fact, not only that project has been stopped, but the project of the Wanguo Hotel has also been stopped..."

"Wait, what did you just say? Tight funding for military projects? A gap of 300 billion euros?"

"Yes……"

"Did you forget what I said? This is an economic era, and everything must be compromised for the economy. The gap in the military's project allows the military to figure out a solution. The project cannot be stopped. I don't want to repeat this sentence a second time!"

Eric was really cornered, he had no choice but to say: "This is a project approved by His Majesty the King, and he needs all the funds to arrive before March!"

In March 2005, with one month left, this...

Of course, this is not the point, the point is the words of the project approved by His Majesty the King, Charlie's face is a bit ugly, so why stop the project he personally approved?

No, I can't, I am the crown prince of Nord, so I can't change my words, otherwise... Otherwise, how can I become the king of Nord in the future?
"Project can't be stopped! Tell the military and let them figure it out!"

"But……"

The phone had hung up before Eric finished speaking, and it was obvious that Charlie didn't want to give Eric a chance to explain.
