Super God: Rise of Civilization.

My Emperor, are you serious or joking with me?

Cancel the production of third-, fourth-, or even fifth-generation warships?

If it is indeed cancelled, a large portion of the Ministry of Finance's funds can be recovered and used for more commercial activities, or even scientific research.

"What, you don't want to?"

Seeing Finance Minister Ou Yang's expression, Yang Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and said.

"Your Majesty, I have no objection to canceling the production of third and fourth generation warships, but if the construction of fifth generation warships is canceled, will it have any impact on the security of the Empire?"

Although Ouyang really wanted to recoup his investment, he also didn't want to cancel the production of the fifth-generation warship.

The fifth-generation warships still constitute the main force of the empire. If the production of the fifth-generation warships were to be cancelled, it would inevitably cause considerable instability to the empire's security.

Therefore, troop reductions should be carried out appropriately, rather than in a way that leads to drastic, unintended consequences.

Otherwise, there will only be disadvantages and no advantages.

"Isn't this the scene you most wanted to see? Why are you hesitating now?"

"I have a premonition that the fifth-generation warships will soon be phased out."

"The obsolescence of third- and fourth-generation warships is a foregone conclusion. If fifth-generation warships are not phased out, what should we do with the large number of fifth-generation warships we have produced when the seventh-generation warships come out?"

"Sell it to other universes?"

“Selling to other universes is no problem, but have you considered whether those universes can afford your equipment and weapons?”

"We can definitely afford to buy them, but if we buy too many, people might not be able to afford them."

"Some civilizations are the kind that only want to buy a warship, then tow it back and dismantle it for their own research. I do not approve of such things."

Yang Yu looked seriously at Finance Minister Ou Yang and said, "Although we might not be able to find anything out even if we dismantle it for research, we still need to consider the subsequent impact, don't we?"

Buy it, take it apart, and study it?

This is something that civilization has done more than once before.

As for what civilization it was, he certainly couldn't say more.

"Your Majesty understands. I will immediately notify the Ministry of Resources and Transportation, as well as the Imperial Military Industry, to cease construction of third- and fourth-generation warships, reduce the construction of fifth-generation warships, and focus all production on sixth-generation warships."

"Should all the fifth-generation warships in the T0-class combined fleet be disbanded?"

Chapter 494 [Deceiving Mu Ying]

"There's no need to cut the fifth-generation warships in the T0-class combined fleet for now. We'll wait until sixth-generation warships can replace them before cutting the fifth-generation warships."

"Furthermore, you should give the order as soon as possible, and then summon Foreign Minister Xu Wen to accompany me on a trip to the world of 'Brotherhood of Blades'."

Yang Yu looked at Finance Minister Ou Yang in front of him and said seriously.

"Take a trip to the world of 'Brotherhood of Blades'?"

Finance Minister Ouyang frowned.

What exactly does the emperor want to do?

Why would I have thought of going to the world of "Brotherhood of Blades"?

Is the Empire planning to sell its warships to the civilizations in the world of "Brotherhood of Blades"?

"promise."

Although Ou Yang was filled with doubts, since the emperor had made such a request, he had no choice but to comply.

After leaving the Imperial Study.

This time, he was no longer grumbling and cursing; he was genuinely all smiles.

I greet everyone I meet with a smile.

"That idiot."

Seeing Ou Yang's departing figure, the Imperial Guard Commander Long Qi shook his head helplessly.

"Commander, he is, after all, the Minister of Finance. Is it inappropriate for you to say such a thing?"

Upon hearing his commander's words, Jun Wushang said in a low voice, "If Ou Yang finds out, he might make things difficult for you."

"Start an attack? What right does Ou Yang have to attack me? Did I say anything to him?"

Did I specifically name him when I insulted him?

The Imperial Guard Commander Long Qi rolled his eyes at his subordinate and said, "Do you know why I called him an idiot?"

"That kid was completely dazed after being hit by His Majesty's big pancake."

"What do you mean by canceling the construction of third- and fourth-generation warships? He can save a lot of money. When he prepares to upgrade the production of sixth-generation warships, the materials for the canceled 10 billion warships and 1 billion warships will be supplied to the production of sixth-generation warships."

"What are you saying outside? Get in here right now!"

Just then.

Inside the Imperial Study.

The emperor's voice came through.

The Imperial Guard Commander Long Qie and his deputy Jun Wushang exchanged a glance, a wry smile appearing on their faces, and hurriedly walked into the Imperial Study.

"This humble general pays his respects to Your Majesty."

"What's wrong? You've been talking a lot lately."

Yang Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Long Qie, the commander of the Imperial Guard.

"This humble general is aware of his crime and begs Your Majesty to punish him."

Long Qi and Jun Wushang's expressions froze, and they immediately knelt on one knee.

"Alright, I don't want to waste any more words with you. Get ready and come with me to the world of 'Brotherhood of Blades'."

Yang Yu's gaze fell on Jun Wushang, and he said.

"Ah? Your Majesty, why isn't it this humble general!" Long Qi looked at the emperor in astonishment. Why were all the tasks assigned to Jun Wushang, and where was this humble general?

"Your greatest task is to faithfully guard the Empire."

Yang Yu glared at Long Qie and said, "Do you think your mission is less important? Obeying orders is a soldier's duty."

"promise."

……

Star Fortress.

Bai Qi looked at the Imperial Secretary-General before him and said, "Secretary Lin, I wonder what His Majesty's orders are for you to send me there?"

"President Bai, His Majesty is preparing to travel to the world of 'Brotherhood of Blades.' I wonder if Star Fortress is currently able to spare a combined fleet to escort His Majesty to the world of 'Brotherhood of Blades' for an on-site inspection?"

Secretary-General Lin Zijin did not hide anything, but instead told the Emperor's request to the Imperial Marshal.

"Your Majesty is planning to visit the world of 'Brotherhood of Blades' for an inspection? Isn't the world of 'Brotherhood of Blades' currently at war? Fighting against dozens of multiverses."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi frowned.

Why does Your Majesty travel to the world of Embroidered Spring Blade?

The world of Brotherhood of Blades is currently experiencing a cosmic war.

Even the Empire had never experienced a cosmic war, yet a Level 4 civilization had. It must be said, this was truly a magnificent era.

"I don't know. His Majesty only gave us one hour, and five minutes have already passed."

"You have 54 minutes to prepare."

"Can Star Fortress spare a joint fleet for escort?"

Secretary-General Lin Zijin looked at the Imperial Marshal Bai Qi before her and said solemnly.

"No problem! The First and Tenth Combined Fleets are currently idle, while the rest of the Combined Fleets are suppressing the Xuan Tian World."

"Star Fortress can currently deploy two joint fleets to escort His Majesty."

Bai Qi pondered for a moment, then spoke.

The Empire is not currently at war, and the two joint fleets can be freely drawn upon.

With billions of warships surrounding the entire Origin Galaxy, who dares to make a move?

Then we'll wipe them out.

"We don't need two combined fleets, one combined fleet will suffice."

The Secretary-General said.

"It's alright. If anyone dares to act recklessly, I will take action."

Bai Qi shook his head.

Taking away two T0-class combined fleets would not be a problem.

Anyway, Bai Qi will take action.

The pressure from those four old fogies was immense.

The other three commanders could handle them on their own, but Prince Yang Lin of Zhennan was a particularly troublesome opponent.

"Alright, then inform the two joint fleets that they only have fifty minutes to prepare."

"In fifty minutes, His Majesty will personally travel to the world of 'Brotherhood of Blades' for an on-site inspection."

Secretary-General Lin Zijin said solemnly, "I will not linger here any longer; it is time to go back and report."

"Secretary-General, please proceed."

After Lin Zijin left, Bai Qi shook his head slightly and said, "Immediately notify Bai Yu and Qin Yan to conduct a self-inspection of the joint fleet. The mission for this trip is escort."

"promise."

……

Imperial Palace.

"Is Father preparing to go out?"
