Chapter 1280 World Conscription

"It's too little, it's just petty."

Different from the approval of most civil and military officials, Ying Ji didn't catch Bai Qi's suggestion at all.

As the helm of the empire's giant ship, Ying Ji actually knew the future and operational needs of the empire better than anyone else.

The reason why he asked Yu Wenwu Baiguan was not because Ying Ji had nothing to do, but because Ying Ji wanted to take this opportunity to test Bai Guan to see if any of the Bai Guan had guessed his mind.

Now it seems that even an imperial marshal like Bai Qi is somewhat lacking in his strategic vision.

But this is normal, after all, not everyone has the system and 200,000 years of experience in the half-step god-devil-level world.

In addition, most of the civil and military officials were born in the plane world under the Daqian level plane. Even if they grow up and make up for it, the gap in consciousness is not so easy to level, and the strategic vision is lacking. Some are normal.

Ying Ji also understands this.

Hearing the words of His Majesty the Emperor, most of the civil and military officials, including the six marshals, couldn't help but be stunned.

The army expanded to 100 standing corps, and the navy expanded to 30 fleets. Such a large-scale army expansion is enough to make waves in the great world of China. In their view, it can also fully meet the future combat needs of the empire and its internal defense.

But I didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to say that this is petty. How big should His Majesty be?

...

"In my opinion, the army can add 320 corps and the navy can add 80 fleets this time."

"In addition, all 20 A-type legions, including the 1st Legion to the 20th Legion, will be promoted to titled legions."

"As for the 1st to 20th corps, the 21st to 40th corps can be taken over, and the 21st to 40th corps can be taken over by the 41st to 60th corps, And so on."

...

Looking at the expressions of the civil and military officials, Ying Ji no longer took the exam, and directly stated the plan for the expansion of the army that he had prepared for a long time.

Undoubtedly, all civil and military officials were shocked by the military expansion plan proposed by His Majesty.

This was true even for imperial ministers like Guiguzi and Haoyue who came from the Great Thousand Planes.

Although they all guessed that His Majesty the Emperor's ambition is very big, they didn't expect it to be so big.

The 20 A-type legions, including the 1st Legion to the 20th Legion, were all promoted to titled legions, and subsequent legions took over the title in turn.

The army was enlarged by 300 corps, and the navy was enlarged by 80 fleets.

According to His Majesty the Emperor's plan, this is to expand the Empire's military power by at least twice the original basis.

Once this military expansion plan is implemented, not to mention the generals of the three armies will be shocked by it, even the entire Shenzhou world will be shocked by it.

Without him, just because the handwriting is too big.

Not to mention the fact that 20 A-type legions, including the 1st Legion to the 20th Legion, were upgraded to titled legions.

The army has expanded to 320 standing corps, each with a strength of 600,000, and is expected to recruit 192 million.

The navy has expanded to 80 fleets, each with 200,000 warship operators and maintenance personnel, plus 20,000 marines, with an estimated recruitment of 17.6 million.

Adding the two together, it is estimated that the total number of conscripts is at least 209.6 million.

True, just at least.

Because the commander of each titled legion has the right to apply to the empire to expand the strength of his subordinates to 1 million to 1.2 million, Huangfu Song, Han Jihu, Li Xiaogong, Li Mu, Sun Bin and other twenty generals who are about to be upgraded No exception.

Once the 20 generals apply to the empire to expand the size of the army under their command, the empire will at least need to transfer a total of 8 million elites from the major standing legions to add 20 new title legions.

After some elites were transferred away, the transferred legion also needed more recruits to replenish the legion in order to keep the legion intact.

That is to say, the total number of conscripts is expected to increase by at least 8 million on the basis of 209.6 million.

Adding the two together, there are a total of 217.6 million.

If the Empire's original army of 147 million is added, the size of the Empire's army will be as high as 364.6 million.

What a huge army this is, I am afraid it is more than the total population of some worlds.

 …

"Reporting to Your Majesty, recruiting more than 200 million troops is equivalent to expanding the empire's military strength at least twice on the original basis. Will it be too much?"

"After all, this level of military expansion has far exceeded the needs of the Empire now and for at least the next two decades."

"Furthermore, once the military expansion of this scale is carried out, there are too many things to consider in all aspects. Please think twice about it, Your Majesty."

The civil and military officials were silent for a long time, but finally Bai Qi broke the silence.

"Jun Wu'an, I know what your worries are."

"It's nothing more than military spending, selection of generals, and influence on combat effectiveness."

"I can tell Wu Anjun and the civil and military officials clearly that all this is not a problem."

"Once the army is expanded, we will increase the military expenditure of the navy and land forces on the original basis, which will be enough to support the distribution of army salaries and the building of armaments for the new army."

"The selection of generals is also very easy to solve. From each old army corps, one or two mid and future army commanders are selected to serve as new army commanders. Three hundred and twenty new army commanders can easily be filled."

"In addition, each new army commander can also take a school of troops from the original old army as the backbone, build the frame first, and then gradually improve it, and it will take a few years to become an army."

"As for affecting combat effectiveness, all the previous problems have been resolved, will it still affect combat effectiveness?"

Looking at Bai Qi, Ying Ji smiled and said, everything is under control.

"Follow His Majesty's orders!"

His Majesty the Emperor said so, and Bai Qi couldn't refute anything, so he immediately took orders and said.

"Follow His Majesty's orders!"

Seeing Wu Anjun's appearance, the civil and military officials also said in unison.

...

"Order, one day later, the two major military divisions of the empire will issue a conscription to the entire territory of China. The major departments of the empire will cooperate fully, and the conscription must be completed within half a year."

"This conscription is a world-class conscription, regardless of race."

"In addition, the qualifications of recruits, the strength of soldiers, and special circumstances are all under the full control of the six marshals, and they can be displayed on the recruiting order together."

Looking at the civil and military officials, Ying Ji ordered and said that it was decided to hold a world conscription that would radiate the whole of China.

"promise!"

Hearing His Majesty's order, the civil and military officials agreed in unison.

Seeing that the officials were ordered and promised, Ying Ji waved his hand and immediately got up and left the throne.

"Retreat!"

Seeing His Majesty get up and leave the throne and return to the harem, Zhao Gao also recited aloud, conveying the order to retreat.

So far, the conference has come to an end.

However, the mighty world conscription that will spread to the whole of China is about to start.
