v6 Chapter 97： The meaning of the existence of the Imperial Navy (1/2)

The Candela Imperial Palace is located in the center of the capital north of Wimbledon, just standing on a hill far above the surrounding plains.

The hill was originally the only highland in the vicinity of a large flat, and the palace was built to be particularly tall, so that the people of the whole city of Wimbledon could see the palace in the distance and the golden coins as long as they looked up.

The great Emperor of the Candela Empire will hold a pilgrimage in the most prominent building of the palace every morning, as well as in the main hall of the government of the entire Candela Empire, to listen to the returns of the empire ministers.

Generally speaking, this dynasty is just a form of taking some important things to do some brief reports to the Emperor. As for the specific implementation, it will be dealt with specifically after the meeting.

So most of the time, the Emperor’s Majesty would only sit on a tall chair and look down on the ministers below, listening to it.

Today, however, the noble Candela Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor Debord, was very rare to stand up from the tall chair, staring in anger at the one standing in the middle wearing a Candela empire general's costume. Year man.

”The imperial navy, even the fleet of a chamber of commerce in the district can not be resolved, but was beaten by the other side, the loss of its own battleship more than 70%! Duke Warner, this is the Imperial Navy you commanded? This is the annual empire Want to spend tens of millions of gold coins on the Imperial Navy?”

The middle-aged man had lower his head and lowered his head, but did not respond.

Seeing that he was speechless, Debord was more angry in his heart.

”Very good, since the empire spends tens of millions of gold coins every year and only raises a group of wastes, what do you want to do? From today, the Imperial Navy is completely removed! I don't want to spend any more on your waste. Body!”

I heard the words of Debord. The Duke of Warner raised his head violently, and his eyes passed by a trace of surprise.

Although the interior of the empire has been questioned and debated about whether the Navy needs to continue to exist, even the military's budget for the Imperial Navy has been reduced year after year. However, the Emperor’s Majesty has never made a statement, so the impact is not fatal.

But now the Emperor’s Majesty is angered by the fiasco of the Imperial Air Force’s fleet on the new Flyer’s fleet in the southern waters. Even the statement of the abolition of the Imperial Navy is said, and if it is taken down by some people to make some articles, it is very likely to have a truly fatal impact on the Imperial Navy.

”Your Majesty, never!” The shouting of this sentence was not the Duke of Warner, but the Marquis of the Candela Empire, the Minister of Finance of the Candela Empire on the right hand side of the Duke of Warner.

It was he who saw it, not only the other ministers, but even Debord 17 was taken aback.

Because the Imperial Navy has always eaten a lot of budget, it has made little contribution. The interior of the Imperial Ministry of Finance, which led to the budget of the Empire, has always had a great deal of opinion on the Imperial Navy.

Now that the emperor is angering and claiming to remove the Imperial Navy, the most gratifying thing is that the Imperial Ministry of Finance is right.

Why did the Marquis of Hastrid jump out against it?

Debord 17th took a look at him inexplicably: ”Why is the Marquis of Hastri, why not? If you can't say convincing reasons today, don't blame me.”

Listening to the tone of Debord's seventeenth yin test, the following ministers are all in the heart.

It seems that the Emperor’s kneeling this time is really angry.

If you want to touch his mold at this time, I am afraid it will really be bad.

The Marquis of Hastrid wiped a cold sweat on his forehead, and apparently the pressure in his heart was enormous.

However, after fixing the gods, he still barely maintained his calmness: ”Your Majesty. I don't understand the war matters, so I don't comment on this aspect. But as the Minister of Finance. I hope from the perspective of my concern. Prove the meaning of the existence of the Imperial Navy.”

Everyone looked at him with surprise.

What is the significance of the imperial navy in terms of finance? Isn't it meaningless except for the huge budget that ate the tens of millions of gold coins of the empire every year?

”Oh? You talk about it.” Debord 17 was also provoked with curiosity.

”Your Majesty, the Imperial Navy will swallow tens of millions of gold coins from the imperial budget every year. It is true that in the past few years, at least for the past few years, I have basically had no output and actual contribution, indeed. It is said to have no meaning.”

When I heard this, the ministers around me couldn’t help but nod.

This is in line with the impression and evaluation of the imperial navy.

”But...” The Marquis of Hastrie suddenly turned his voice and his tone increased slightly. “This situation has improved significantly in the last two years. Although I can't give specific statistics, in the last two years, the pirates in the southern part of the empire have almost disappeared under the attack of the Imperial Navy, making the sea in the southern part of the empire. The industry has risen sharply. It is only the three seaports under the protection of the Imperial Navy in the southern part of the empire. The taxes paid so far this year have exceeded seven million gold coins.”

”Seven million gold coins?”

The surrounding ministers Qi Qi showed a surprised look.
