Traveling through the infinite wasteland

Yu Ming understood that he did not speak any more, but sat upright, quietly waiting for His Majesty's next words.

Fang Xucheng looked at his expression, how could he not know what he was thinking? He couldn't help but smile and said: "You don't need to be nervous. What I said to you today is just a chat. There will be no recording and no records will be archived! You just need to speak freely!"

"You already know what's happening outside! I just guess it. What do you think of those people?"

"Your Majesty, no matter what, I am not qualified to discuss this matter!" He said cautiously, "I am a minister of the empire, and I defend the interests of the empire! No matter who your Majesty chooses in the future, I will swear allegiance! Absolutely no Two-hearted!"

"I asked you to say it, what are you worried about?" Fang Xu said displeasedly, "Are you a genius who is invincible on the battlefield and is not afraid of countless Kilizako people! He dare not even say a few words after returning to China Are you gone? Where is your courage?"

Ye Qingyuan was helpless, thought for a moment, and said carefully: "If the empire is in a peaceful period, then these people can think so; however, currently, the empire is in a troubled period, with the influence of aristocratic families inside, and the stars and sea countries outside looking at it, and even more Not to mention those old civilizations with their own agendas, and the Kilizako people who came back decades later!"

"For the continuation of the country and the well-being of its trillions of people, the future empire must be led by a monarch with enough power and prestige to convince the public!"

"That makes some sense!" Fang Xu nodded lightly, "Then, which of my descendants do you think meets the standards you mentioned? In other words, who would you rather follow in the future? ?”

"In terms of ability and prestige, these Highnesses are all lacking!" Looking at Fang Xucheng's face, he said carefully: "His Highness Fang Yukun is much better in this regard, but he is not your Majesty's. Once in the future, When he ascends the throne, the structure of the court will inevitably change drastically, and it is not suitable! In addition, there are several others who are either underage or have incompatible qualifications and temperaments! They are not candidates who can take on the big responsibility! "

"Could it be that the current empire is looking for only a satisfactory crown prince?" Fang Xu said with a half-smile, "It's just that you have very high standards! How can you not look down on any of the children of the royal family?" "

Ye Qingyuan felt a chill in his heart and clenched his teeth as he said, "There is another person who fully meets the standards I mentioned! That is the third princess, Her Royal Highness Fang Yuqing!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly turned cold.

Fang Xu closed his eyes slightly and said nothing, looking only at happiness and anger.

Ye Qingyuan stared at his emperor with an innocent face, saying in his heart that you asked me to speak, and I have said everything I can say now. Don't get angry out of shame and turn your face on the spot!

"In her body, there is half the blood of the Bojiang race!" After a long silence, Fang Xucheng's voice sounded again.

He took a breath and said quickly: "But she was also born of His Majesty, and she also has His Majesty's blood in her body! Moreover, in Yichen's opinion, blood is not a problem! Ability is the most important! Her Royal Highness the Princess's ability and military exploits are both No need to say! He is completely qualified for the important task of leading the empire!"

"You make it simple! Those old guys don't think so!" Fang Xuqing sighed softly, "In order to canonize her as a princess, a few old antiques in the royal family dared to play a hunger strike with me! What are you talking about? There is no confusion about royal blood! Hey! How ridiculous!”

"Why don't they understand the dangerous situation that the empire will face in the next few decades? If an incompetent person really comes to power, the empire will become the second Gardley Federation!"

Having said this, he leaned slightly, stared at him and said: "If I really choose her! There will be a lot of public sentiment in the government and the public, and even the most loyal ministers may not agree with my decision! For the sake of overall stability, I I have to compromise!"

Ye Qingyuan stood up and responded solemnly: "No matter what others think, I will definitely support your Majesty's decision!"

Fang Xu nodded gently and asked again, "I heard that all those people have come to see you?"

"Yes, but I... all rejected it!"

"Fang Yanren still has some abilities, but he likes to have fun and is a bit immoral in his private life! If he trains hard, he might be able to accomplish something!" He said slowly, "You might as well walk around with him more and give him some guidance! "

Is this almost a statement? Ye Qingyuan felt a little confused and responded: "I understand, I will obey your majesty's order!"

"Okay, now let's talk about your errand arrangements!" Fang Xucheng no longer dwelled on this topic, "Marshal Limason was too seriously injured and his abilities have declined significantly! It is no longer qualified for the position of director of the Superpower Corps! Originally, Marshal Limason was too seriously injured and his abilities have declined significantly! There are still two deputies, but unfortunately they have all died in the battle! Only in this way can I easily lift you up!"

"I am very happy to hand over this position to you, but after all, you are still too young! If you do this alone, those old guys will inevitably nag me in my ears again! Therefore, I will start from Select a member of the clan to take over this position. Of course, he has been practicing in seclusion all year round! He may not have much time to take care of things, so you can take care of your deputy position!"

The meaning of these words is obvious, that is, the title cannot be given to him, but this real power has fallen into his hands one by one. From now on, he will be the supreme commander of hundreds of supernatural legions in the empire!

"Your Majesty's arrangement is reasonable and reasonable, and I have no objections!" He responded gratefully.

"I have said so much to you today. You just need to know some of the words in your heart. Don't let them know! In short, you just need to do your own thing well. No matter what kind of unnecessary troubles you have, I will do it for you. Carry it!" Fang Xucheng finally said.

The monarch and his ministers chatted for a while, and then Fang Xu Zheng signaled that he could leave.

Before leaving, Fang Xu suddenly said: "If something happens and it's inconvenient to come to me, just go to Fang Yuqing! Apart from me, the person you most trust is her!"

The emperor's thoughts are really elusive. However, he has received the hint and no longer needs to worry about it! Just do what His Majesty wants!

The next day, Ye Qingyuan went out early and boarded a luxurious ship specially equipped for him. Surrounded by more than ten small warships, he arrived at the Ministry of National Defense located on the eastern continent of the fifth planet, near the equator. Office center, work in the superpower area!

The ship landed directly on the apron on the top of the building. With his current status, his status in the empire was second only to Gurungs and several of his deputies. He was generally ranked in the top five, so no one dared to question it. Was his behavior appropriate? In fact, this is what the strategic command bosses who hold real power do!

After entering the center of the heavily guarded building, as usual, we first visited our immediate boss, Marshal Gurungs, Minister of Military Affairs! After polite communication, return to your own office and start today's work.

Since it was the first day at work, the heads of various subordinate departments came over early to wait to see him, trying to leave a good impression on his new boss. Even the commanders of the legions who were still in the imperial capital came. In the conference room covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters, hundreds of high-quality military officers gathered together! The stars shine brightly, and the golden seals and ribbons complement each other!

The new director is a member of the royal family, and his cultivation level is not low, almost fifteen stars! He also has the title of Marquis, but he has been in seclusion all year round and has no interest in worldly affairs at all! This time I took the position of director under His Majesty's instruction, just in name only.

After the officers arrived, he said a few symbolic words at the main seat, and then simply announced that he was unwell and needed a long-term recuperation. All matters, big and small, were decided by Deputy Director Ye Qingyuan! Then he got up and left without any hesitation!

Yu Ming understands that from now on, the empire's supernatural army will become Ye Qingyuan's world!

Of course, power always comes with heavy responsibility. Now that you sit in this position, you must make a difference! After reading various reports submitted by various departments under my command, the excitement I felt when I took over the power not long ago is gone!

Although he had been prepared before coming, the current situation of the Empire's supernatural army was worse than he had originally expected! There are a lot of unnecessary things, and he, the new boss, needs to find ways to solve them as soon as possible!

Among them, the most unnecessary thing is the issue of recruiting soldiers! In this war, the supernatural army played an important role. Because of this, the battle loss rate is also the highest! Before the war began, the empire's strength of supernatural corps was 335! Later, a large-scale recruitment of civilian awakened people into the army expanded to more than 700! After the war, only more than 170 legions survived, and most of them were dissatisfied!

The organization of the supernatural corps is that every eight ten people make up a team, and ten teams make up a regiment; for every eight regiments, plus some civilian, information, logistics personnel, and division commander's guards, the commando team becomes about 5,500 people. The standard division! Each eight divisions, together with some special formations, form a standard army of about 50,000 people!

Of course, depending on the quality of the soldiers, the quality of the equipment, funding issues, implementation tasks, and differences in deployment areas, the number of personnel in each legion is not static and will be adjusted in due course!

This kind of organization is much smaller than that of a regular army, but the combat power of the two is not at the same level at all, and there is no comparison!

Ye Qingyuan's current task is to figure out the means to make up for all the missing soldiers, and to rebuild the destroyed legions and restore them to their pre-war scale!

Then there is the issue of pensions for officers and soldiers who have died in battle. Before the war was over, his predecessor, Marshal Limason, had already solved a lot of them. The rest were killed in the last battle, numbering in the millions. And it can’t be delayed any longer!

Then, there is the issue of the equipment of the supernatural legion, and the huge amounts of precious resources needed for officers and soldiers to practice! These are all unavoidable problems!

"The pensions for these fallen officers and soldiers are all distributed by the military department according to unified standards, right?" In the spacious and bright office, Ye Qingyuan looked at the mountains of documents in front of him and asked, "Why has it not been completely resolved yet?"

Yang Wentao said: "The war is about to end. The aftermath work of all parties is very heavy. There are more places asking for money! The military department's funds are also very tight. Therefore, only 80% of the scheduled funds have been received at present, leaving a gap. I can only wait, or I can figure out how to solve it myself!"

He turned on the photon computer in front of him and further explained: "The matter of dead people is actually not the most urgent thing. Most of the injured officers and soldiers are still lying in the medical cabin! There are millions of them!"

"About 30% of them have genes that are almost at the point of collapse and their abilities have greatly degraded! Even after the injury is healed, they can only become ordinary people. However, their retirement compensation will be calculated based on their ability level before the injury! "

"About half of the remaining people are seriously injured. Ordinary treatment can only stabilize their injuries. It is estimated that in order to cure them, a large number of precious high-grade genetic medicines must be allocated! This all costs money! And there is a funding gap Bigger than a pension!”

"In short, all the problems you are facing today can be summed up in one problem: money!"

Ye Qingyuan frowned and said, "How much funds do we have that we can use now?"

A beautiful female assistant in biochemistry immediately came over and responded: "Except for some funds that have been used for specific purposes and cannot be diverted, there are currently more than 783.98 billion crystal nuclei!"

"There are so many?" Ye Qingyuan said in surprise, "Then there should be enough to solve the current problem, right?"

Liu Xiangyun smiled bitterly and said: "General, you are not clear. This is not just the pension and medical expenses! It is all the funds I am waiting for in the next three months! It includes more than a hundred existing legions. The salaries of officers and soldiers, as well as the recruitment of new soldiers, training fees! There are also maintenance fees for major bases, the purchase of new equipment, the repair of old equipment, and the maintenance of the fleet all cost money!"

"If you leave all of them for a period of time, and then for a year and a half, all these tens of millions of officers and soldiers will have to drink the northwest wind!"

Ye Qingyuan was silent, why didn't he expect that the question would be so unnecessary? Sure enough, this seat is not that easy to sit in!

"Can we apply for more funds from the military department?" he asked.

"This is a bit difficult!" Hu Mu responded from the side, looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com "The military's own funds are also very tight. Moreover, I recently heard that the southern territory of the empire is somewhat unstable. Several people near the border The small vassal country is not at peace! I don’t know who is behind it! Therefore, the military department is going to have a large-scale troop deployment operation again! At this time, there may not be excess financial resources to satisfy us and others!"

"Or, you can try to discuss it with the Minister of Finance? Otherwise, just go to His Majesty!"

Ye Qingyuan thought about it and rejected the suggestion. Duke Trump of the Ministry of Finance has no friendship with him, so he may not buy his account! Besides, this is not consistent with the existing system of the empire. In the end, the organization of the supernatural corps is still under the jurisdiction of the military department, and the funds are also approved by the military department. He went to the Ministry of Finance to ask for money, which is not the case at all!

However, as for His Majesty, if he asks, he should be able to get the money. However, he is not prepared to do this unless it is absolutely necessary! After all, His Majesty left this mess to him just to test him. If he ran to the palace whenever something happened, his impression in His Majesty's heart would undoubtedly be greatly reduced!

"If all the existing pensions and medical expenses are paid! How much balance will there be?" he asked. (To be continued.)
