"Your Majesty, the nine battalions were stationed at the battle by 24 minutes," the soldier reported to the Security Council.
"Great, the military is remarkably efficient. In just 24 minutes they can enter the highest battle-ready state. This work is the commitment of the commander." Zhao Lingxin was satisfied with this figure. So he praised Major General Li Fengyang.
"We all sacrifice our lives for the Empire," said Major General Li Fengyang.
The preparation for battle is critical. The less time spent, the more influential the army is.
With the existence of radio, Zhao Lingxin was able to sit in command and listen to the news from the front lines as if they were in the present day.
"Send an order to report the status of the army," Zhao Lingxin ordered.
"Roger that!"
Not long after, the officer came back with the documents.
"I want to report this time, all 9 battalions. There were a total of 7000 soldiers. 300 Maxim machine guns 5 M105 Howitzer artillery, the army has 1 million spare ammunition, "the soldier reported.
"Commander, is this reserve amount of ammunition too short?" Zhao Lingxin asked worriedly.
Because if Zhao Lingxin had already calculated this amount of 1 million bullets, even though it looked a lot. However, enough for all 300 Maxim machine guns to fire continuously for less than 10 minutes.
"According to the calculation, the reserve ammunition is really too small. Unfortunately, our ammunition factory is not available yet," said Major General Li Fengyang.
The ammunition factory is under construction. They are making it now unable to produce ammunition itself.
"Your Majesty, do not worry. We are not using that continuous rate of fire. But the number of bullets was really too meager. I think we had better get spare ammo," said Defense Minister Colonel Ma Chun.
According to combat tactics, ammo reserves are really worrisome.
"All right, I will take care of this." Zhao Lingxin had no choice but to trade another 10 million bullets to maintain an advantage in the war. Zhao Lingxin thought in his heart that if this battle ends, the empire will need to stand on its own.
Modern warfare is extraordinarily efficient yet comes at a cost and consumes many resources. In its nascent stages, an empire faced with a substantial military budget was barely able to keep Fortunately, Zhao Lingxin also had a system for strategic material exchange. His number of spirit stones had already started to run out. Making him urgently need a spirit stone
"Sun Wanping, can you collect the spirit stones in the city?"
Zhao Lingxin turned to ask Sun Wanping.
"Your Majesty, last time, the group donated to us a lot. I think there are not many spirit stones in their hands, but there are still some. If His Majesty wants, my Sun Clan is ready to give His Majesty the Family Spirit Stone. "
Sun Wanping made an offer.
Zhao Ling Xin waved his hand in denial.
"No, I won't take your stuff for free. Sun Wanping, I order you to represent the government to negotiate with Shenzhou's businessmen to borrow their spirit stones. The government will issue a debt repayment agreement to them." Zhao Lingxin assigned the job.
Zhao Lingxin was not afraid of running out of money. Although he could print the money himself But he did not dare to print it too much. He came from a future who knew that printing too many banknotes would lead to massive inflation. If Zhao Lingxin had thought to print out large amounts, it would have been sent by the Imperial Central Bank to send out documents to protest.
If there is really no money to repay the debt, Zhao Lingxin gave them concessions from the government. The government has many patents for technology products. Never afraid to owe anyone
"I will hurry and proceed immediately," Sun Wanping accepted the order. He immediately set out to order a meeting of the businessmen in the city.
In the city of Shenzhou, a large group of companies was formed. Wan Shing Industry Group of Chui Weihong And the Sun Family Technology Company These two companies are very valued on the stock market. Their shares have never fallen. However, kept rising Zhao Lingxin is confident that both companies will support this financial resource.
At this moment, an officer came to report.
"Your Majesty, there has a royal order sent by the three emperors."
Zhao Lingxin did not wait to accept those three orders to open and read with the Security Council.
By order of the first prince, who is now Emperor Zhao Tao. The contents are to Zhao Ling Xin's abdication to the throne, Gave him the capital Shenzhou and withdrew from the war. Then he would spare Zhao Lingxin.
The other two royal decrees are similar but have some additional material. For example, they condemn Zhao Lingxin, the youngest, for why he is the Emperor. It was because Zhao Lingxin had forged the royal order.
Some of them accused Zhao Lingxin of conspiring with the devil until he became mad. Ordered Zhao Ling Xin to dissolve the Cabinet
The contents of the royal order are all slanderous, imposing charges on Zhao Lingxin. Justify yourself to have the right to own this dragon throne.
"Hmph, Your Majesty, do not pay attention to this royal order; I will teach them."
General Guo Ling said in an angry expression. His loyalty will not allow anyone to humiliate the Emperor.
"I will gather an army to kill them all." Major General Li Fengyang asked courageously to volunteer.
"Take action, Commander, I support too," Colonel Ma Chun encouraged.
"You guys, calm down first." Zhao Lingxin tried to dissuade the Security Council to calm down. Then Zhao Lingxin suddenly realized that all of his officers were soldiers of war. It is almost unacceptable to such disrespect.
"All of you, remember, we don't have enough personnel to send out to attack. We need to follow the Xuan Wu plan. All of you, don't forget." Zhao Lingxin cautioned his generals.
"Yes, Your Majesty, one of us just felt angry. The Xuan Wu action plan needs to be carried out continuously, and it cannot be canceled," Major General Li Fengyang apologized.
The Xuan Wu (Black Turtle) Action Plan was a plan drafted by the Imperial Military Commission. By inventing details of imperial combat tactics, Considering the equipment, personnel, material, transport, the empire was not ready to attack. The empire then drafted a defense plan.
Material handling and human resources are the most problematic. The empire has no trains, cars, roads all over the empire are potholes. Only Shenzhou still has some suitable conditions. Enemies surrounded Shenzhou, so it was absolutely inappropriate to attack.
Thus, the Xuan Wu action plan was used. The empire will take on such an intense defense like a millennial black turtle that no one can penetrate its shell—relying on enemies that continuously attack and lose their resources And then initiated a counterattack attack.
"Your Majesty, there has bad news." Suddenly a military officer walked in to report quickly.
"What happened?" Asked Zhao Lingxin.
Today many misfortunes have happened in the country. There will be a few more bad things, no wonder.
"The intelligence agency from Tsinghua City reported that The second prince was justified in his rise to the throne from Datang," the soldier reported.
Prime Minister General Guo Ling was the first to speak up. Because he reacted the most to the news
"Your Majesty, this has become a big deal. Datang's move in this game has a massive impact on us. "
"Master Guo Ling, please clarify," said Zhao Lingxin.
"Acknowledging the righteousness of the Second Prince has made us a lack of international political justification. All contracts with us are null and void. Great Tang was able to intervene in Great Da Zhou fully. This is clearly an insult to us. "
Guo Ling said impatiently.
Datang declared Zhao Wu's legitimacy to be accepted in the Emperor's throne. That would mean that Da Tang accepted the existence of the state to Zhao Wu. Therefore, only Zhao Wu has unilateral power in international negotiations.
As a result, the treaty and agreement between Zhao Lingxin and Datang were considered invalid. Moreover, Datang would consider Zhao Lingxin a rebel, able to send soldiers to help Zhao Wu. Intervene in domestic affairs of Dazhou
This action of Datang was counted as a slap in the face of Zhao Lingxin's dignity. General Guo Ling, who understood this process the most. Therefore extremely angry with Datang.
The situation is worse than ever. Datang put its hand in a hurry. Add one more piece to the chessboard.
However, Zhao Lingxin didn't care, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
"If Datang wants to come in, then please, our ammunition is ready to welcome them. This world is measured by strength. If we show our strength, even Datang will have to wiggle our tail for us," Zhao Lingxin said.
"Yes, what kind of international relations is that? Throw it all away, let us judge on the battlefield," shouted the most impatient Major General Li Fengyang.
"Datang will regret this decision." Zhao Lingxin was determined to teach Datang, who had reached out to his territory.
