Chapter 963 Sky-High Military Expenses, the Purpose of the Meeting

"I allocate 50 billion taels of gold to the imperial navy every year, what does the Minister of the Navy think?"

Just as everyone's thoughts turned around, the words of His Majesty the Emperor shocked everyone.

The Minister of the Navy asked for 30 billion military expenditures for the Imperial Navy, and His Majesty the Emperor instantly decided to give the Navy a super military expenditure of 50 billion taels of gold.

Really one dares to ask, one dares to give.

And not only giving in full, but giving in excess.

"Your Majesty, according to the plan negotiated by the minister and the admirals, the annual military expenditure of 30 billion taels of gold is the most reasonable."

"Five billion taels of gold...that's too much."

Hearing His Majesty's words, Bismarck, who is the Minister of the Navy and the Admiral, who is in charge of everything in the navy, said quickly.

Obviously, the super military spending of 50 billion taels of gold not only surprised Bai Qi and several other military marshals, but even Bismarck was taken aback.

If the previous 30 billion taels of gold was only close to the entire military expenditure of the empire for one year, then the funds of these 50 billion taels of gold had completely exceeded the military expenditure of the entire army of the empire.

It's not more than a little bit, but a full 40%. It's nothing to call it sky-high military spending.

To suddenly receive this sky-high military spending, Bismarck's heart was not happy, but panic.

I thought it was His Majesty the Emperor had some guesses about him.

...

"The Minister of the Navy needn't say more, I said that the annual allocation of 50 billion to the military is 50 billion."

"Just like what the Admiralty said, the Imperial Navy will not only ride the Imperial Sea in the future, but also the Endless Sea of ​​Stars and the Sea of ​​Heaven."

"The military expenses required to replace all the original warships with star warships for the Imperial Navy will be sky-high."

"In my opinion, 30 billion taels of gold is too little, only 50 billion is more than enough."

"But I am not without conditions. The Empire allocates a special military budget of 50 billion taels of gold to the Navy every year, and the Navy must show results after three years."

"That is to say, in three years, I want to see the entire Imperial Navy transform from the World Fleet to the Star Fleet."

"If the Navy cannot meet this requirement after three years, then I will consider reorganizing the Imperial Navy."

Seeing Bismarck's expression, Ying Ji also had some guesses about the other party's specific thoughts, but he still insisted on allocating a sky-high military expenditure of up to 50 billion taels of gold to the Navy.

Not only that, Ying Ji also put forward a request, that is, the Imperial Navy must transform from the original world-class navy to the Star Fleet after three years.

This request seemed nothing on the surface, but it made many marshals, including Admiral Bismarck, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Because they keenly captured the word reorganization from the words of His Majesty the Emperor

What is reorganization?

After disbanding, there will be reorganization!

What does this mean?

Explain that if the navy fails to complete the task after three years, His Majesty the Emperor will disband the existing imperial navy and form a new imperial navy.

Although there is no edge in the words, the consequences are terrifying, so terrifying that the Navy can't bear it at all.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the navy will go all out, and in three years, it will hand in a perfect answer sheet for the Empire, so as to live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

At this moment, Sora and Bismarck spoke at the same time.

Although the price is terrifying, Bismarck and Kong are confident that the Imperial Navy will be transformed within three years despite the super-rich military spending.

"Okay, three years later, I will personally review the Imperial Navy, and I hope the Navy will not let me down."

Looking at Sora and Bismarck, Ying Ji smiled and said with a serious but encouraging smile.

"Not only the navy, but from now on the Imperial Army will also receive 50 billion taels of gold in military spending and some resources every year."

Just as Bai Qi and Ying Ji and other field marshals were somewhat envious of the navy's treatment, His Majesty's remarks made them stunned.

"Your Majesty...this...?"

Bai Qi and the two were extremely puzzled, and did not understand why His Majesty the Emperor gave the Imperial Army the same sky-high military expenses.

You must know that although the navy has a big mouth, the two of them can understand.

After all, the cost of star warships is extremely high, and even the lowest-level star warships may be able to arm at least ten imperial reorganization legions.

And the navy wants to replace all warships with star warships to undertake more and more diversified combat missions in the future, and the military expenditure required will be sky-high.

In this regard, although the two were somewhat envious and envious of the navy's treatment, they were still within an acceptable range.

However, in an instant, the Imperial Army was given the same standard of treatment, which made the two of them somewhat unable to guess the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor.

"You two don't have to guess, this military spending is for you to expand your army."

"Now the territory of Shenzhou Great World has expanded unprecedentedly, and the increase in level will also bring the power of the future enemies of the empire."

"In order to cope with the increasingly complex forms of warfare and combat space in the future, we have decided to expand our army again under the scale of the existing imperial army of one forbidden army, eight guard armies, eight titled armies, and one hundred reorganized armies."

"The number of the expanded army is 100 reorganized corps. The number of the corps ranges from 101 to 200. The rank is tentatively set to be a C-type army, which will also be completed in three years."

"In addition, all the original A-type regiments were upgraded to quasi-titled regiments, all B-type regiments were upgraded to A-type regiments, and all C-type regiments were upgraded to B-type regiments."

Seeing the doubts of the two marshals Bai Qi and Ying Ji, Ying Ji also revealed his purpose.

- That is the expansion of the army!

Hearing the words of His Majesty the Emperor, both of them nodded.

Indeed, with the continuous improvement of the strength of the empire, the enemies that the empire will encounter in the future will only become stronger, and the scale of the army that needs to be used will also become larger and larger.

And now the empire is bound to enter a short period of silence after integrating several worlds one after another, and choosing to expand the army during this period of silence is undoubtedly the best result.

The scale of the one-time expansion of one hundred reorganized corps also surprised the two of them.

It should be known that the strength of a fully reorganized regiment is 600,000, and that of a hundred reorganized regiments is 60 million.

And once this expansion is completed, the size of the Imperial Army will expand to nearly 130 million, and it will be able to compete with the transformed Imperial Navy.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to complete this military expansion for the Empire and Your Majesty."

After knowing the requirements of this strategic-level military meeting for the army and navy, Ying Ji and Bai Qi both bowed and said, and took the order.

No one knows about the era of rapid development in the next 10,000 years.

But what everyone knows is that in the next few years, the imperial army will enter a rare state of large-scale strengthening.
