Chapter 2194: A bunch of bastards! (1/2)
”Elder!”
Seeing Dongfang Tuo's arrival, the Qinglan Star military and political officials who were talking and laughing on the parade immediately stood at attention, clenched a fist with his right hand, pressed close to his heart, and leaned slightly to salute him.
The five hundred veterans of the empire are extremely respected. Even if they do not hold positions in the army or the government, they still have the majesty and power above everyone else, just because they are the empire!
Dongfang Tuo's face sank like water, nodded at the crowd, and waved at will, indicating that everyone shouldn't be so nervous.
Qing Lan Xing is the logistics transit base of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.
”Military logistics” is such a critical and oily field, naturally, it is controlled by the nobles and lords themselves.
Therefore, today the military and political leaders who are qualified to stand on the parade stand to welcome the triumph of the army are all from the four major electoral families and their vassal forces, and they are all ”owners.”
Since you are ”owner”, you can speak freely on many topics.
Unlike the ”Long Live the Empire” that the enthusiastic people in the streets and alleys around, there is not much joy in the whispers of these military and political leaders.
”It's another'brilliant victory', a new resource planet, hehe, it's a pity that I heard that the Holy League implemented the strategy of'firm walls and clear fields, scorched earth resistance'. Before retreating, all mines have been blown up, and even used A very insidious method that pollutes all the underground mineral veins. It is estimated that the pollution control alone will take several years. I don't know how much money will be spent on it. What kind of resource planet is this, and it is a bottomless pit!”
”Yes, and those people left by the Holy League are all seriously brainwashed, and they are very resistant to the empire. Without a long period of indoctrination, they will not be able to become a good labor force for the empire, but it will cost more. To feed them with a large amount of food, you can't kill them all, right? Kill all the people in the dozens of large worlds that have just been restored? Who dares to make such a decision? It's really... distressing!”
”The support of the people in the rear has reached its limit. No matter how'incentivized' it is, it will not stimulate greater potential. On the contrary, the accident rate is rising, and small-scale riots are also one after another. However, most of the power of the empire is concentrated on the front line. , There was no way to suppress the rear riots, so that the day before yesterday in the Wuying world of the poisonous scorpion star cluster, there was a terrible incident of the cultivator destroying the entire Star War Castle, and even the cultivator invaded the spiritual net and broadcast the whole process. , Shame, it is simply a great shame to the empire, it was actually a little cultivator...”
”A small cultivator can't make too many storms, but the inflationary pressure we are now facing is too great, and it has reached the threshold of collapse. If the war continues, the vicious devaluation of the imperial coin will be inevitable. We Detailed deductions have been made. If the war continues at its current intensity for another year and the current supply of resources is still present, then, by February next year at the latest, the Empire Coin will depreciate by at least 300%. By the end of next year, it is very likely to depreciate. Ten times, the catastrophic consequences are more serious than the appearance of 10,000 cultivators!”
”So, the most important question now is how to end this war decently!”
Dongfang Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly and his face was expressionless. He seemed indifferent to the comments around him, but he heard every word clearly.
He also knew that the discussions and complaints of these Qinglan Star military and political officials were deliberately told to him to a large extent, hoping that as the empire veteran, he would propose a motion in the Senate to end the war as soon as possible.
only……
Dongfang Tuo sneered in his heart. These military and political leaders thought that the Senate didn't want to end the war ”decently”, but how could the Holy League, which had just been torn off a large piece of flesh by blood, easily give the empire ”decent” What?
”Those who are on the front line do not understand the hard work of operating supplies at the rear. They only know how to fight, fight, and fight! If they continue to do this kind of brutality, our logistics system will collapse!”
”Yes, I heard that the 27th Fleet stationed in the'Sky Moon Star Territory' recently had a mutiny incident. The middle and lower-level young officers were a little unstable and were unwilling to carry out the order of'holding in place'. I also want to continue the offensive, expand the results, and further lengthen the front.”
”These guys with well-developed limbs and simple minds, what do they want to do,'expand the battle'? After the expansion of the battle and the restoration of the new planet, will they come to feed the highly brainwashed people above? What a jerk!
”These stubborn guys only think of their own military exploits and medals, but they never consider the overall situation of the entire empire. Once they get boiled and dazzled, they can do anything, and now there is another one. A very worrying phenomenon-young military officers from different worlds seem to be connected in series and communicate with each other. They seem to have established a lot of organizations like'clubs, federations', and they don't know what they are going to do. People are worried.”
”It's all condoned by those world masters. Those in the remote world of the empire are a bunch of ambitious, selfish, short-sighted, insatiable **** who never consider the overall situation!”
Dongfang Tuo sighed again.
As the president of the Empire Development Bank, the logistics leader of the expeditionary force with astronomical military resources, he is very clear about the topic everyone is discussing.
Swallowing dozens of large worlds in one breath, the empire has reached the limit of phased expansion, and if it expands blindly, it will become an infinitely expanding behemoth, and will eventually be overwhelmed by its own weight-as if stranded. The whale on the beach exploded from the inside out.
