Chapter 260 The Lingyu Empire Collapses.
"My dear friends, the empire has reached a state of decline. What do you think? Should we continue to attack, or should we return to our base and be laughed at by other empires?" Emperor Lingyu looked at the ministers with a gloomy face and asked slowly. road.
"Your Majesty, no. Although our Lingyu Empire seems to be prosperous and powerful, in fact it is full of holes. Except for the defected First Legion, the remaining three legions have not paid military expenditures for three months. Departments at all levels are constantly complaining. , If it is not resolved, it is not an exaggeration to say that there will be a mutiny. Your Majesty, please think twice." Upon hearing that Emperor Lingyu wanted to continue the war, the Minister of Finance, who was already having a headache, immediately stepped forward to persuade him.
"How presumptuous. Except for the First Army, when have I ever defaulted on military expenses for the remaining three armies? General Yan Yi, I gave you a whole year's military expenses. Didn't you pay them on time?"
"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. Yes, Your Majesty has given me a full year's military expenses. But has Your Majesty forgotten that the consumption of the three armies is not only military expenses, such as the purchase of weapons and ammunition, food expenses , military uniforms, extra reimbursements for business trips, medical reimbursements, etc., that doesn’t require money, and the little money your Majesty gives to the veteran will only last for half a year. "
After hearing Yan Yi's detailed account, Emperor Lingyu seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slumped on the dragon throne, "General Yan Yi, I order you to take 50% from the arms sale for military expenses and various expenses. "
"Your Majesty, think about it. Although you did make some money from the arms trade, once this money is used now, it is very likely to be noticed by the Universe Alliance Station. After all, it is still a sensitive period. Why don't Your Majesty wait until the situation calms down before talking," Yan Yi was furious when he heard that Emperor Lingyu actually wanted to embezzle the arms benefits that he regarded as his own small treasury.
"Hmph, the entire Lingyu Empire belongs to me, do you want to seize the arms benefits?" Emperor Lingyu said angrily without giving Yan Yi a chance to react.
"Your Majesty, you are wronging Wei Chen. It has been 200 years since Wei Chen joined the army at the age of 30. Wei Chen has experienced large and small battles, both defeated and won. How could the Empire ever worry about it? At the beginning, the Empire The finances were in critical condition and no one had enough to eat. Who saved the empire was Weichen. He led an army of 800,000 and robbed enough money from hostile countries to tide over the crisis. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died, and Weichen also concealed it. Instead of reporting it, he used the last bit of money he had to reissue various pensions to the families of soldiers and soldiers. What did His Majesty do?" Yan Yi knew that unless he did something ruthless, Emperor Lingyu would embezzle this huge sum of money, so one by one all the past events He knocked him out.
Yes, these past events were brought out, and Emperor Lingyu's furious heart sank again, and he became even more unable to face his ministers. However, the ten generations of Yan family members have all dedicated themselves to the empire to this day, and countless family members have been sacrificed. Yan Yi is currently 231 years old and has four sons, all of whom hold important positions in various departments of the army. He was still too young before, fighting everywhere, and the country's reputation was in vain.
Thinking of this, Emperor Lingyu looked at the ministers who were talking about each other, and suddenly felt depressed and irritable. This Yan Yi definitely did it on purpose. What is his purpose? Why don't I give him a try.
"Yan Yi, since the empire is in crisis now, don't worry so much. I don't ask for too much. I will deduct half of this money for the empire's expenses. I will never ask for the rest, except for anything. I'm here alone."
Seeing that Emperor Lingyu still refused to give up, Yan Yi also got angry, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not obeying orders. This money must not be touched. If it is done, the empire will be in real danger."
"Yan Yi, do you want to rebel? It's not your turn to evaluate my empire." Emperor Lingyu was already very clear about Yan Yi's attitude and decision.
"Since Your Majesty is so arrogant, the minister, on behalf of the billions of civilians and tens of millions of soldiers in the empire, announces that from today on, the three major legions of Fire Wolf, Sirius, and Golden Wolf will officially take over the Lingyu Empire, and all government affairs of the empire will be It is up to our three military commanders to make the decision together. As for your majesty, I feel that your majesty is too tired and it is better to go back to the harem to recuperate, but your majesty can rest assured that as long as I have one day, your majesty will not be hungry or cold. "
"Yan Yi, I really didn't see it. You hid it so deeply, and you were so sure that you can eat my kingdom, but don't let your stomach burst."
"Oh, does your Majesty have any other plans? I would like to take a look. Your Majesty's so-called back plan is not the Imperial Forbidden Army. I'm so sorry. Yesterday, the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army officially surrendered to the rule of our three armies. Ah. Ha ha ha ha···"
"Okay, I want to see how many loyal ministers there are in the hall who are loyal to me." Emperor Lingyu swung his dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair. A real dragon's aura spread faintly throughout the whole place.
Being surrounded by the true dragon's energy, although it was very slight, made Yan Yi very unhappy and made him feel a little uneasy. Could it be that Emperor Lingyu really had a back-up plan?
"Report...report to General Yan, it's not good, the Star Source nuclear missile we planned to sell to the hostile universe the day before yesterday was seized by the patrol fleet of the Universe Alliance station last night, and they also seized our stored assets, which are nearly one billion An intermediate level Heavenly Spirit Divine Crystal, the Universe Alliance Army issued a notice today. The Lingyu Empire has been operating in violation of regulations, violated the laws of the Universe Alliance, and has a tendency to collaborate with the enemy. It is hereby notified that Emperor Lingyu needs to go to the Universe Alliance station to give a detailed explanation and pay 100 million in advance. A low-level Heavenly Spirit Divine Crystal as bail."
"Ling Yutian, you bastard, is this your next move? You dare to reveal the secret to the Universe Alliance? Don't you want to live?" Yan Yi understood immediately and immediately shouted out to Ling in anger. Emperor Yu's destiny.
"Hmph, if you want to kill me, wait until I come back from the alliance. I forgot to tell you. I have withdrawn all the money you have deposited in the empire's account and distributed it to the suffering civilian fund organization. Haha. Ha ha···"
At this moment, Yan Yi was completely dumbfounded. One of the two huge sums of money was seized and the other was misappropriated. What would the army do? Without money, these veterans would not buy it.
"Ling Yutian, you will become a sinner of the empire. I promise not. Even if we don't get the empire, then the empire will perish for the first time."
After saying that, Yan Yi took out his communicator and dialed the dedicated line of the enemy universe's Kuoke Empire and Emperor Kuoke in front of Ling Yutian. "Hello, hello, who are you?" A burst of questions came from the other side of the communicator. .
"Hello, Emperor Kuoke, I am the commander of the Fire Wave Legion of the Lingyu Empire. I would like to make a deal with you. Currently, the Lingyu Empire has fallen into a crisis and annihilation stage. As long as you finance the next huge sum of money, , I can bring the Lingyu Empire and hundreds of millions of people to your Kuoke Empire."
"Haha, if I'm not mistaken, you are General Yan Yi. We were very happy with each other during our last conversation. What's wrong? Could it be that General Yan Yi has figured it out? This is good. The huge amount of money you want, tell me. Number, location, I will send someone to deliver it to you.”
Soon, the transaction between Yan Yi and Emperor Kuo Ke was successfully completed in front of all the officials. The officials present were deeply moved and had their own thoughts.
After a while, at least 2/3 of the hundred ministers stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Emperor Lingyu. After careful consideration, we decided to follow General Yan Yi, which will better reflect our value."
"Hahaha... A bunch of traitors, you will get retribution sooner or later. I want to live and wait for the day when you cry, hahaha... Ling Yutian, who has already suffered a mental breakdown, is giggling crazily on the dragon chair, but everyone Don’t dare to touch him, because if the person you want to see at the Universe Alliance Station is killed, everyone will be left with nothing to eat.”
