Some people have gathered in a meeting on the top floor of the Gown tower. Some of them are sitting next to a huge table in the room, and some are standing by the table. This room is very spacious and luxurious. There are many flags, paintings, works of art, etc. hanging on the walls of the room. Which is enhancing the beauty of the room. Also from this room, you can enjoy the view of the whole city. Since this is the tallest building in the city.
A skeleton currently sitting next to the table. Who is looking at some documents with his bright red eyes. Also, some screen is floating in front of him.
"Energy crystals are found in the special region."
"Yes my emperor"
Ragnarok pulled out a green crystal from his storage.
"The energy crystals we found in the special region are very different. With the help of this energy crystal, we can drive vehicles. One gram of this energy crystal can run a car for 6 months without stopping."
"Great," said Energy minister
"But if that happens, many people's businesses will suffer. As a result of these crystals, vehicles can run for many months without refueling. In this, the vehicles that are driven using electricity, magic, oil, etc. will become useless. Also, the business of people who sell electricity, magic, oil, etc. as fuel will collapse."
"Yes, I know. For this reason, we will only use it in military vehicles. Also, this crystal will be useful to us in many ways. We are exploring to find more such mines in the special region."
"Good."
"Hmmm"
Ainz then looked at a woman.
She is one of the Chief sorcerer scientist of the Sorcerous Empire. If she looks young. However, her age is much higher
"Ana, how is your research going?"
She got up from her seat nervously.
She bowed his head respectfully towards Ainz.
"Lord Ainz, We have discovered all the knowledge about this gate. We are confident of making such a gate using the Dragon Emperor's stone. Through which we can go to another world."
"Hmmm....Great"
The woman sat up straight in her seat.
Although Ana had attended such meetings many times before. But even then she was as nervous as ever. Because she is a Human in the new world. Who has been given the right to sit here because of her qualifications. But even then she feels uncomfortable all the time. Because here, Ainz and his companions are equal to or above the gods. Although people's mentality has improved a lot over the years. But they still consider Ainz and his people to be great. And Ana is sitting with these great and legendary people. So she is feeling uncomfortable. When many people do not get this opportunity.
"Lord Ainz, I would like to ask a question?"
Said the Public Works Minister Juli.
She is also an inhabitant of the new world.
"Say"
"You could have used your Dark wisdom to kill Hardy and take her powers. Right? Why didn't you do that?"
"You are right. But if I did that, I would break the balance of the special region. Because Hardy is very important for special regions. But I sent some magicians there. So that they can learn how to open this gate."
"Ainz-Sama's knowledge is unmatched!"
"But what do we do when we open the gate to another world?"
"Isn't it clear? We will open the gates to other worlds and expand the boundaries of our empire. We will start the conquest campaign again."
Lucifer said.
"But how does that make us different from the Saderan Empire? We will do the same as them. Attacking people for their own interests."
Touch me said
"But we are not barbarians. We will not attack innocent people. We will campaign for victory. We can make our empire more profitable by this. We will open gates to other worlds. But we will not attack them suddenly. If we see that we can trade with them, we will trade. But if we think it is not profitable to trade with them, then we will occupy them. We will not do anything unnecessary. We will speed up the growth of the empire through this. You can also spread your justice in other worlds through this. We can remove injustice from other worlds. We will make them more prosperous by bringing them under us and removing all discrimination. We will show them the right path. Our citizens can live happily and peacefully in the same way. This universe is very big. There are many worlds in this vast universe where people are still oppressed. We will free them from this suffering and adultery. We will thus build a huge prosperous empire. Where all the people of the world can live in peace. So what do you think?"
"It is Great."
"There are so many people who are deprived of justice. Who are not even getting their basic rights properly."
"I agree on this. But we will not commit any war crimes."
It sounds good. I might even find our old world. But I don't think it still exists. But it seems like a good idea to start the victory campaign again. It's been a long time since I did anything different. I am very bored.
"But we need to increase our troop numbers for that."
Ainz looked at Philip.
"Philip, would it be a problem if we raised five million more troops?"
"If we want to increase our troop numbers. Then we have to increase our military budget. We spend three and a half percent of our total income every year on our military. Our army has a total of nine million soldiers. If we increase five million more troops, our military spending will increase by at least seven percent. Because we will need more barracks, weapons, etc. to accommodate these troops."
"...Okay"
Then Ragnarok stood up
"I would like to make a proposal here."
"Hmmm"
"I would like to propose that our whole military be modernized. Only SS Divisions and Space Army soldiers in our military are armed with most advanced weapons. I propose a complete reform of our military. We met Japanese soldiers in the special region. Whose entire army is equipped with firearms and long range weapons. It's good that they don't know magic. So we are still in a stronger position than them. But we cannot guarantee that we will not encounter a nation in the future that is adept at modern weaponry as well as magic. If we don't modernize our military we will be very weak. We have to prepare for the future. We cannot neglect our military like this. We need to modernize our military."
"We also agree with Lord Ragnarok."
Said Grand Marshal Helen.
"A large proportion of our troops are not equipped with modern weapons. They use cold weapons. Although I am not saying that cold weapons should be completely abolished. Because we have many races in our army who specialize in using cold weapons. I propose to improve the cold weapons. I also propose to equip the army with modern weapons."
"I also request to strengthen the naval forces."
said the Head Naval Grand Admiral.
He is also an inhabitant of the new world.
"60% of the ships in our navy were built about 400 years ago or before. Our navy is losing its glory. I am appealing to improve the navy."
"Though our situation is not as bad as that of the Navy. But many Air Force airships are hundreds of years old. Also, 30% of our airships were built during the Conquest campaign. Also, our Air Force mostly uses Dragon, Griffin, etc. We have very few planes. If we compare them with Earth's aircraft, they are insignificant. I am sorry to say this but the air force of the earth is much better than our air force. However, I think the Dragons can make it difficult for them, I'm still not confident of a win. Because 70% of our aircraft is hundreds of years old most of these aircraft were built around 500 to 600 years ago. So I am appealing to improve the Air Force."
Said Air Chief Marshal Bluk Al Nul
Hearing their words Ainz's mental suppression activated. I haven't paid that much attention to the Empire's military since taking over the world. I thought spending so much money on the military would be unnecessary now that I had conquered the entire world and I had no enemies left. However, it seems that the condition of the imperial military has deteriorated over the years. I need to focus on the military again.
"Hmmm....what do you all think about this?"
Ainz said
"Lord Ainz I agree with them. But if we suddenly increase our military budget too much, there will be many difficulties," said the Interior minister
"But we can't keep our military that old."
"Okay. But it is not possible to completely improve the army suddenly"
" We have to update our weapons factories and we also have to build new weapons factories, air plants, etc"
" We will also need more manpower."
Said Labour minister
" It's going to cost us a lot of money. Besides, our military budget should be at least 15 percent. That's why we have to reduce the budget in other sectors." said the Finance minister
"We also need to spend more money on research."
"Also we will need a lot of resources," said the Energy minister
"We have to increase our industrial power, mining capacity," said Industry Minister Jurob
He is a player. He came to this world 700 years ago.
"Also we are spending a lot of money every year on planet Kora. We need to capture the planet Kora quickly so we can cut costs. Also, So that the Space Army can focus on other areas as well."
"Also, our economy will increase as a result of occupying the planet Kora. It will reduce our pressure a little. "
"If we can take these steps, we hope to fully upgrade our army within a few years."
"Admiral Ice, tell us about the situation on Kora."
"I'm sorry for not being able to fully occupy the planet Kora until now. As you know most species on the planet are predatory. We have already negotiated with all the friendly species on the planet. But their number is very low. Our military occupies only 44 percent of the planet. We are trying our best to occupy the entire planet. They are not that advanced. But our biggest problem in fighting them is their numbers. They can multiply themselves like rats. In addition, the average level of these creatures is 20-25. Which makes them a problem for us."
"Okay. But I want us to occupy Kora quickly. I want other forces to help the space force to capture Kora. Touch me I want you to help them. I'm also giving 18 more divisions of Mid-tier Undead to occupy Kora. Also four divisions of Elite army. Demuirage I want you to send all the creatures you have created to the planet Kora. I also ordered ten divisions of Artificial hybrids to be sent to the planet Kora. I give full support for the quick conquer of Kora. I also allow the use of our newly developed weapon to occupy Kora. Does anyone have any objections?"
"We have no objection to that."
"That would be great. We'll be able to capture Kora quickly."
"Also another thing. What shall we do about the Earth?"
"For now I have no intention of taking over Earth. So we will trade with them and keep an eye on them. But if they do any such activity which is a threat to us then we will take action."
"But I heard America is trying to build a superhuman army."
"I know about it. But as long as they don't act as a threat to us, we won't give a shit. But if they stand in our way, we will not remain silent. So just observe them. Also, send some doppelgangers to the earth."
"It is a good idea"
