40,000 Years of Cultivation

With the addition of millions of disabled veterans, the "Cry Tomb Incident" has completely escalated into a huge storm sweeping the entire planet and even the entire empire.

And when the roar of this storm hit, the Prime Minister of the True Human Empire, the Patriarch of the Eastern Family, and the “Iron-Blooded Prime Minister,” Dongfang Wang, was at the prime minister’s residence not far from the Senate, aiming at the next year’s special defense budget. Have friendly and constructive discussions with the heads of the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant departments.

To put it bluntly, you are caught in a whirlpool of numbers. Everyone is wrangling!

Dongfangwang has been the prime minister of the empire for twenty years. Many people say that he is the premier power minister in the empire for hundreds of years. The word "iron and blood" is by no means an empty name.

Only in this way can Dongfang Wang know deeply that the prime minister of the huge real human empire has to coordinate and balance the interests of hundreds of thousands of worlds, thousands of resource planets, countless forces, sects, warlords, and super powers. easy.

On the bright side, he was an arrogant and domineering official who covered the sky with one hand, and even the glory of the emperor was overshadowed by him.

In fact, the other three families firmly hold the military power in their hands and form their own systems in their respective territories. The orders issued by the prime minister’s residence are either violated or ignored. Some policies will affect their interests. , Even if they just pull out one of their hairs, these people dare to take up their swords and kill him, and even fight in the Senate, the two senators are fighting like a rogue in the market!

This is the case for the other three. Even within the Dongfang family, how can they listen to him as the "patriarch"?

The Eastern family has been developed for thousands of years. Naturally, there are many mountains and factions inside. Among the seven most developed heavy industrial worlds, which world does not have a big boss?

These big bosses are all high-level and even peak-level figures in the transformation stage. Some are his peers, some are even his elders. He can become the Patriarch of the Eastern Family and even the Prime Minister of the empire. It is also because of the strong support of these people. Yes, how could he be so hard-hearted to touch the interests of these people without mercy?

Just talk about the special defense budget for the next year.

The empire’s counterattack lasted for more than ten years, with a total of more than a few billion troops, and occupying so many new worlds. The supply lines were long and long, people were eating horses and chewing, wasting along the way, and all kinds of messy expenses. The accumulation of the national treasury in the past nearly a hundred years has been completely consumed, and the economic conditions of many worlds in the rear are extremely poor, and famines have even begun to occur in many places.

The war cannot go on, and the scale of the expeditionary force is bound to shrink, but the reorganization and disarmament involve large severance pay, veteran pay, and pension issues. There are still many military tickets and shares that have long been rewarded. After winning, you must cash it out, and how to cash it out is a big trouble.

Therefore, next year's national defense expenditure is not only indispensable, but even more than in previous years. This can be regarded as "the pain of peace."

The problem now is that there is no money. Of course, it is not that there is really no money. It is that there is no money in the national treasury. The four major electoral families are still rich, but if there is money, there is money. How to use the money to fill the holes? A charter.

Dongfang Wang went to the other three companies to get a charter. The other three were very tame, especially docile, and especially obedient. They looked at him and touted that their Dongfang family was the first family of the dignified empire, with great wealth, and the wrists were thicker than the thighs of other families. The strength is more than twice that of other companies. This charter naturally requires the Dongfang family to make up their minds. Anyway, the Dongfang family will take the lead in filling this hole, and then continue to fill in the remaining three, guaranteeing that a penny is indispensable.

Dongfangwang couldn't get any money out of it. The three pointed to their own starships and giant soldiers and said, in order to fight the empire's counterattack, all the money is spent here. How can there be any surplus?

Dongfangwang gritted his teeth, and then went to discuss with the big guys on each of his hills. The big guys blew their beards and stared and said that when Dongfangwang was elected as prime minister, he wanted him to do his best to get more benefits for the family. So, do you have to go out first? Is he the prime minister of the Dongfang family, or the prime minister of the Li family and the Yun family?

On the other side is the tycoon at the peak of the transformation stage who controls the entire world of heavy industry. Can Dongfangwang kill others and ransack their homes? It's not just for discussion!

Discuss it and discuss it. Both my own and other big guys mean the same thing. As for money and resources, you can always pull out a little bit of money in the cracks, but you can’t do it for nothing. You need to use the land, property rights, and property rights of the new Guangxi area. Exchange of development rights and management rights.

One to two things, the frontline has not ceased fire, and several resource-rich core worlds in the Xinguangfu area have been carved up, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the worlds outside the empire, thinking that their interests have been greatly violated.

Up to now, the matter has evolved into a knot that cannot be solved.

Without the support of the wealthy and resourceful interest groups in the four major electoral families, the expeditionary force would not be able to successfully complete the reorganization and abolition, and the national economy would not be able to recover from the war-time system to the track of peaceful development, even the wounds in the periphery of the empire. Disabled veterans and retired officers are unable to receive support, and sooner or later, trouble will arise.

However, the bleeding of these interest groups came at the cost of various rights and interests in the new Guangfu area, which naturally harmed the interests of many people and classes, and even betrayed the promises made to many local factions before the war. Shen, it is also going to cause turmoil-the recent blood confederation incident, the rise of the reformers, and the Lei Chenghu rebellion, all started as a result.

Standing in front of such an endless cycle of incomprehension, "Iron-Blooded Prime Minister" Dongfang Wang also had a headache and was helpless.

Many times he thought of his biggest political enemy, the "Silver Fox" Li Jiande, who had been dying for a hundred years.

A hundred years ago, the "Silver Fox" Li Jiande also served as the prime minister of the empire. During his tenure, he was exhausted and exhausted. He became sick and fell into distraction. He fell from the realm of distraction.

Dongfangwang even laughed at that time that Li Jiande was really old, and how he would be embarrassed when he became prime minister.

When he himself was roasted on this fire, he knew what it was like to ride a tiger, and even more faintly felt that perhaps Li Jiande "cannot afford to be sick" is the brightest choice.

Perhaps, Xinghai is too big, and human resources are sometimes poor. Even with the computing power and wisdom of the distracting period, and even the real gods and demons descend, there is no way to completely and effectively rule over hundreds of great worlds, right?

Or maybe, the boundless sea of ​​stars is still too small to satisfy the chaotic desires of every human being?

It was in this state of mind that Dongfangwang received a report of the "Cry Tomb Incident".

He stared at the report dumbfounded for a long time, as if he wanted to see clues from every line of dry text, resisted the urge to furious, and asked the most critical question:

"Even though the generals and students of the Royal High Military Academy and the clans living inside and outside the imperial mausoleum were all'spontaneously gathered', how did so many disabled veterans in the outer world of the empire get into the imperial capital? Xinghai jump, jump directly to the surface of the imperial capital, right?"

Dongfangwang smelled a conspiracy.

Some staff members suggested that these people who gathered to cry tombs were lawless, guilty of chaos, and suspected of injustice. Should they immediately send troops to suppress them and arrest all the leaders?

Dongfang Wang glared the staff member out, pondered for a moment, and gave a few instructions.

First, immediately set up interception lines around the imperial tomb, allowing no entry, and must not allow more people to flood into the imperial tomb.

Second, cut off all the ling nets and all communication signals near the imperial tomb to ensure that nothing, a word or a picture of the imperial tomb cannot be leaked to the outside world. Of course, all media still in the imperial tomb cannot be leaked to the outside world. You must control it, and you must not talk nonsense.

Third, immediately investigate the source of the millions of disabled veterans, and we must find out how they were organized and mixed into the imperial capital as soon as possible. This is the top priority!

Dongfangwang's response was not untimely.

This kind of standard procedure similar to the suppression of riots is also frequently implemented by the imperial authorities, and it can be described as easy to use.

But this time there were a series of accidents.

The imperial tomb is the territory of the imperial forest army. There are so many clan families in the army guarding the tomb. They are all instigated at this moment, and they are extremely resistant to the troops of the four major electoral families.

The lean camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how desolate and unbearable the Imperial Forest Army, there are still hundreds of rusty master starships.

These starships were pulled into the vacuum of the universe to merge with the fleets of the four major electorate families, naturally seeking their own way of death, and even before others opened fire, they paralyzed, torn, lost temperature and lost weight.

But in the atmosphere, forming a circle around the imperial tombs, firmly defending the last piece of land, can barely do it.

The imperial forest army is going to protect the disabled veterans, and the disabled veterans shouted the names of Emperor Shenwu and Emperor Black Star. The scene is really touching. Even if the fleets and crystal armors of the four major electoral families arrive, what can they do? In the blue sky and white sun, all eyes are in full view, are these clan families and veterans slaughtered?

The progress of Lingwang and the media has not been smooth either.

There are a total of four groups that provide Lingwang services to Jitian Realm and Tianji Star, which happen to belong to the four major elector families. The Internet is the most important infrastructure of modern civilization. Naturally, the four major elector families are not willing to be controlled by others in this regard.

With an order from Dongfang Wang, the Lingwang service provider of the Dongfang family was disconnected instantly, and the other two also followed up. However, the Lingwang base station belonging to the Li family has been silent for a long time, and it is still continuously transmitting from the imperial tombs. information.

And the media is the same.

The four major electoral families all support a lot of media. It is even said that all the "official media" of the empire are endorsed by the four major electoral families, and the entire media is monopolized by an oligopoly.

With such a major incident, the other media outlets naturally did not dare to act rashly before receiving instructions from Shangfeng.

However, many media supported by the Li family were moved by the news and released a lot of shocking news first!
