The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 473 461. Covered with 43

What happens on the agricultural planet is just a small step in this huge reform. This kind of thing is happening on hundreds of planets.

Corrupt nobles and officials were punished, their families were arrested, their factories were seized, their lands were nationalized, and their wealth was turned over to the Ayr treasury.

In this powerful operation, the Aiur authorities finally saw how serious problems their hundreds of years of neglect had caused in the entire Outer Rim Sector. Let's put it this way, in order to transport the precious metals in the stolen goods, Gray had to dispatch a gold fleet patrolling nearby to protect the hundreds of spacecraft.

All the seized valuables and non-Chaos items were originally planned to be displayed in the square in front of the Great Temple, but the statistics of the dealers showed that if the stolen money was really to be displayed, the final result would be that it would cover the entire Ai All of your A nests will also be filled with 1/4 of C nests.

In the library under the Great Temple, all the consultants at Gray At looked at the statistical data and the floor plan simulated through AI. Looking at the simulated reports and results, Gray suddenly felt that he understood what the explosion effect was. This is the effect of explosion! Such huge wealth and terrifying amounts are enough to mortgage the entire empire's finances for two years.

"These moths are really rich..."

Erda heard the words that Gray said out of shock, but she calmly told a fact that almost made Gray pass out.

"Please don't look like a lot. As far as I know, these properties are less than half of the total wealth owned by the nobles of Cintila in the Calixis sector."

Although Netat was shocked when he saw it, after hearing what Erda said, he felt that his travels in the galaxy for the past tens of thousands of years were in vain. Although he felt that his world view was constantly being refreshed after he came here hundreds of years ago, in terms of corruption, the methods of the human empire nobles really refreshed his understanding once again.

"If this much money is given to the shipyards of the old federation, they can directly build two standard main fleets..."

After hearing what the other party said, Marcus couldn't help but smile bitterly, sighed and added

"The empire has such a huge size and wealth. Sadly but fortunately, they have lagged behind for a long time compared to the past dark technological era, and they no longer have such a strong organizational strength to pull two people together in an instant. Fleet."

Salva lowered his head and looked at the floor plan in front of him carefully, and said in agreement.

"That's right. Even if so many resources are given to Mars, even if they can make the furnace on the entire planet never stop, all working on this one thing, it will take at least more than 400 years to create two fleets. , let alone a golden age fleet."

Gray looked at the floor plan in front of him and put it away, and fell into silence. He was no longer shocked when he saw the huge data collected just now, but more about his views on how to use the money.

There is no doubt that everyone is confused when looking at such a large amount of money. For such a huge amount of money, it is necessary to ensure its safety, and then ensure that it can be invested where it should be invested. He could not guarantee that this money would be innocently lost before it was put into use, and he could not forgive the corruption of officials under his central government.

He stood up from his position and waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave. Before letting them leave his room, Gray said

"I'm hoping you can help me outline a way to use this money. I need more options."

After the explanation was completed, Gray immediately contacted Aldaris, hoping that he could help. But Aldaris declined Gray's request for the first time and stated that he was about to retire. Aldaris has told Gray about this matter several times, but Gray can't figure out why the other party made such a request at this time.

Aldaris' subsequent explanation also convinced Gray, because he was worried that his policy had just been issued, and then he retired, which would lead to incoherent policies, unreasonable losses of funds, and even corruption. . This is not good for the Elder and its empire, and as the Elder's most loyal believer, he will not allow such a thing to happen.

After hearing the other party's request, Gray had no choice but to issue an ancient sage order for the Ministry of Finance to conduct statistics. This kind of order is issued directly by the supreme ruler. The Supreme Council has no way to veto or obstruct it, because it represents the order of the true ruler of the entire empire.

When the officials and department staff of the Ministry of Finance heard this precious order, they were all overjoyed, because in their eyes, this represented that their thousands of years of work had been commended by the ancient saints, and they also understood clearly that The importance behind this command.

However, before the Treasury Department's report came out, Gray first received a report from his own advisory group.

In this report, first of all, 10% of the funds should be reinvested in border areas to rebuild those planets damaged by the nobles, 20% should be invested in the construction of Kalai's mainland, and 47% should be invested in the military The construction process includes but is not limited to acquiring new equipment, developing new technology, and building a new fleet to defend against the increasingly frequent Zerg activities in the western part of the galaxy. Of the remaining funds, 7% is invested in education, 3% is invested in monitoring chaos, and the rest is allocated to cultural construction, people's livelihood security construction, medical construction, and intelligence collection.

Gray agrees with this report, but he is still hesitant about increasing military spending so much. Although the galaxy is full of wars, excessive military expansion is not a good choice, especially for an elite army like Kalai.

If the army is to be expanded, then how to maintain these new fleets and armies in the future is another question. The easiest way is to launch a war, or to protect trade routes, but currently, there is neither. As for the Tyranid Zerg problem, it seems that it can still withstand it at present. Moreover, the opponent's main attack direction has always been within the Human Empire, and even some go around itself, so it is not a big problem for the time being.

Therefore, excessive military expansion is not a good option, and may even become a burden and cause some losses. However, other research on military technology and the like is still a good choice, because the results can also be weakened and put into civilian use, which is also a good choice.

Just as Gray was thinking about it, the Ministry of Finance's plan was also sent over. To his surprise, there was not much difference between the two. However, regarding the expansion of the fleet, the Ministry of Finance has chosen another direction, that is, the newly formed fleet will be responsible for the trade channel with the Tigris Federation.

Wait, Teclis?

Gray thought for a second or two, and finally remembered about this country that had almost disappeared from his memory. This federation is about to usher in their elections, and the governors of the planets in each federation will elect their leaders in the parliament.

For the Kalais, when a new leader appears, it is the time to formally establish diplomatic relations with them. In order to maintain the trade routes between the two sides, a brand new fleet is naturally needed.

Gray glanced at the inheritance he had placed on the table, a clock from ancient times, and said with an unknown meaning.

"The time is coming..."
