Super God: Rise of Civilization.

The Imperial Guard's mission was to be the emperor's personal bodyguards.

The kind that provides 24-hour protection.

This is their mission and duty as the Imperial Guard.

After half an hour.

The spaceship arrived at Star Fortress.

Due to the spaceship's unique characteristics, it was able to enter the Star Fortress without any obstacles.

Under the protection of the Imperial Guards, Yang Yu proceeded to the central control room for the operational meeting.

along the way.

Everyone who saw him gave him the highest respect.

War room.

"His Majesty."

Everyone in the war room stood up from their seats when they saw His Majesty the Emperor enter from outside.

Bai Qi also stood up from his seat.

"sit."

Yang Yu sat down in Bai Qi's seat and said softly.

Upon hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, everyone took their seats.

"Gentlemen, how long do you estimate it will take to bring the surrounding river systems under our control?"

Yang Yu looked at the generals present and asked.

The development of the empire cannot be delayed.

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that it will take a hundred years!" Bai Qi immediately informed the Emperor of the time calculated by the military.

"I don't want predictions, I want the exact time."

Yang Yu responded coldly.

"Within 120 years, we will surely eradicate all civilizations within a million light-years of the Origin River System."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi's expression hardened, and he spoke solemnly.

Since the emperor requested an exact time, he provided an exact time.

Within 120 years, we must sweep away the world.

Yang Yu was quite satisfied to hear that Bai Qi had given a definite answer.

"I intend to expand the combined fleet once again. What do you think, my esteemed minister?"

Suddenly, Yang Yu brought up the matter of the Joint Fleet.

The Imperial Fleet is still too weak.

It's enough to deal with a few civilizations, but not enough to deal with thousands or tens of thousands of civilizations.

Especially civilizations like the Zerg.

The empire of today.

The situation of insufficient firepower gradually became apparent.

"How much does Your Majesty intend to expand it?"

Bai Qi asked tentatively.

The expansion of the combined fleet will inevitably affect the commander's ability to control the fleet.

Therefore, he needs to understand this expansion.

"How much do you think is appropriate to expand it, my dear minister?"

Instead of giving a clear answer, he inquired about the thoughts of Bai Qi, the Grand Marshal of the Empire.

He was the emperor, not a general who commanded troops in battle.

In this situation, it's best to consult a professional.

"Your Majesty, regarding the expansion of the combined fleet, I believe it should be expanded to a maximum of 20,000. Exceeding this limit might affect the commanders' capabilities."

Bai Qi thought about it carefully and gave a precise answer.

2 million.

If there are too many, the commander may not be able to react in time.

After all, their strength is undeniable.

Expanding to 3, 4, or 5 at once is not feasible.

The pressure suddenly increased.

"Da da da".

His fingers tapped on the table as he stared at Bai Qi.

ponder for a moment.

He asked, "How many warships can you command, my dear minister?"

Immediately.

Bai Qi felt his hair stand on end. What did His Majesty mean by this?

But he dared not refuse to answer, saying, "The more the better."

"I understand."

Chapter 287 [She succeeded]

Return to the Imperial Palace.

Yang Yu immediately summoned the cabinet to discuss the matter.

Hearing that the Empire was preparing to expand its combined fleet, Finance Minister Ouyang dared not speak, no matter how unwilling he was.

After all, it was the emperor who proposed it.

Moreover, for the sake of the empire's military strength, he couldn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, will expanding to 20,000 ships at once have any adverse effects on the Empire?"

"For example: resource issues?"

Prime Minister Long Zhi tentatively looked at His Majesty the Emperor.

"There's no need to worry about resources. The resources in the Origin River System are enough for the Empire to use for tens of thousands of years. Let alone adding a few more warships, even if you add millions more fourth-generation warships, it won't be a problem."

Finance Minister Ouyang said.

The resources of the Origin River System are enough for the Empire to use for tens of thousands of years, but the future development of the Empire must also be taken into account.

And the war against the Zerg.

The empire's future development is estimated to be tens of thousands of years.

Indeed, the empire's development is different every year, and the utilization and digestion of resources are increasing in a straight line.

Transforming planets and planetary systems that support life involve substantial and enormous expenditures.

The current conquest of surrounding river systems is also a prelude to the empire's dream of becoming a fourth-level civilization.

"No, I think you misunderstood me. I meant population resources."

Prime Minister Long Zhi shook his head. He didn't doubt that the Empire was incapable of building fourth-generation warships, but he was concerned about whether the population could keep up with the expansion of the joint fleet.

If the population is insufficient, expanding your warship fleet will be useless.

It's impossible to have robots operate all the warships, right?

In that case, the empire would either be destroyed by other civilizations or by its own hand.

Their idea was simple.

Humans must dominate warships; machines will always remain machines.

"The population problem is not a big problem. I have also seen that the Empire expects its population to exceed 20 trillion next year, which is more than enough."

"Even if it's expanded tenfold, it can keep up."

In response, Minister of Public Security Ouyang Xiu said.

"Doesn't the empire need production? Why expand it tenfold? Why don't you expand it a hundredfold?"

Upon hearing this, Finance Minister Ou Yang glared at Security Minister Ou Yang Xiu. "You've already taken charge of security, why are you still thinking about the military?"

That's not your concern.

You're like a mangy dog ​​all day long. You ask me for money, and I haven't said a word to you.

And yet you still want something unrealistic.

Don't you go to heaven?

"Then we'll draw soldiers from the T1-class fleet to the T0-class combined fleet, and recruit soldiers from the Empire, train them for three years, and add them to the T1-class fleet."

"In addition, the number of T1-class fleets has been increased to 100, while the number of warships in the original fleets remains unchanged."

Seeing that none of the ministers were speaking, Yang Yu decided to speak for himself.

"Currently, the Empire has 40 T1-class fleets, and it needs to add 60 more T1-class fleets. That means it needs to recruit at least 65 billion warriors?"

Upon hearing this, the Chancellor of the Exchequer trembled slightly.

This expense will be enough to make him feel bad for hundreds of years.

"It's not like I'm asking you to come up with that much money all at once, what are you afraid of?" Education Minister Gong Yao chuckled, "Why are you trembling like that?"

He was, after all, the Empire's Minister of Finance and a third-generation super soldier.

"I know it's not about having the Ministry of Finance come up with that much money all at once, but it really hurts," Finance Minister Ou Yang said bitterly.
