Chapter 2279

With the participation of millions of disabled veterans, the "crying mausoleum incident" has completely escalated into a huge storm sweeping the whole planet and even the whole empire.

When the storm came, Dongfang Wang, the Prime Minister of the real Empire and the owner of Dongfang family, was at the prime minister's residence not far from the Senate. He had a friendly and constructive discussion with the heads of the Ministry of defense, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant departments about the next year's special national defense budget.

To put it bluntly, we are falling into the vortex of numbers, and we are bickering!

Dongfang Wang has been the Prime Minister of the Empire for 20 years. Many people say that he is the most powerful Prime Minister of the Empire in recent hundreds of years. The word "iron blood" is not a false name.

Only in this way can Dongfang Wang deeply understand how difficult it is for the Prime Minister of such a real human Empire to coordinate and balance the interests of hundreds of worlds, thousands of resource planets, countless forces, sects, warlords and super powers.

On the face of it, he was an arrogant and domineering official, and even the glory of the emperor was overshadowed by him.

In fact, the other three families firmly hold military power in their hands and form their own systems in their respective territories. They either disobey the orders from the prime minister's official residence or ignore them. Some policies will touch their interests. Even if they just pull out their hair, these people will dare to fight with him or even fight in the Senate, The two elders fight like villains!

This is true of the other three. Even within the Dongfang family, why do they all listen to him as a "big parent"?

Dongfangjia has been developing for thousands of years. Naturally, there are many mountains and factions in the interior. Which of the seven most developed heavy industry worlds has no big boss?

Some of them are his peers, some of them are even his elders. He can become the head of the Dongfang family and even the Prime Minister of the Empire because of the strong support from these people. How can he touch the interests of these people without mercy?

Now, next year's special national defense budget.

The Empire's counterattack lasted for more than ten years, with a total of more than a few billion troops and occupying so many new worlds. The supply lines were long and protracted, people ate and chewed, the losses along the way, and all kinds of messy expenses consumed the accumulation of the national treasury in the past 100 years, and the economic situation of many worlds in the rear was extremely poor, Many places even began to suffer from famine.

The war will not continue, and the scale of the expeditionary force will be reduced. However, the reorganization and disarmament will involve a large amount of severance pay, ex servicemen's compensation and pension. Many military tickets and shares have been rewarded for a long time. It is said that they will be cashed after victory. How to cash them is a big problem.

Therefore, next year's national defense spending is not only indispensable, but even more than in previous years, which can be regarded as "the pain of peace".

The problem now is no money. Of course, it's not really no money. It's no money in the national treasury. The four election emperors and Marquis families are still rich, but money belongs to money. How to use money to fill the hole, there must be a constitution.

Dongfang Wang went to the other three families to get a charter. The other three families looked at him very docile, docile and clever. They boasted that Dongfang family was a great empire. Dongfang Wang could not afford it. Pointing to their star warships and giant soldiers, the three families said that they had spent all their money here to fight against the Empire. How could they have any food left?

Dongfang Wang gritted his teeth and went to discuss with the big men at the top of his family. The big men said with a puff of beard and a glare of eyes that when he chose Dongfang Wang as prime minister, he wanted him to do his best to get more benefits for his family. How come he had to go out to get the benefits before he got them? Is he the Prime Minister of Dongfang family or Li family or Yun family?

On the other side is the man who controls the whole world of heavy industry. Can Dongfang hope kill others and make a house? It's not that we can only discuss!

It's the same meaning to discuss with other family leaders. Money and resources can always be cut out by hard work, but it can't be cut out in vain. It should be replaced by the land, property rights, development rights and management rights in the newly restored area.

As soon as they came and went, there was no cease-fire in the front line, and several core worlds with rich resources in the newly recovered area had been completely divided up, which naturally aroused the discontent of the world outside the Empire, believing that their interests had been greatly violated.

Up to now, things have evolved into a knot that cannot be solved.

Without the support of the rich and resourceful interest groups in the four general election families, the expeditionary army would not be able to complete the reorganization and abolition smoothly, and the national economy would not be able to recover from the wartime system to the track of peaceful development. Even the disabled veterans and retired military officers in the periphery of the Empire would not be supported, and sooner or later there would be trouble.

However, the bleeding of these interest groups came at the expense of the rights and interests of the newly recovered areas, which naturally hurt the interests of many people and classes, and even betrayed the promises made to many local factions before the war. If they were careless, they would make a lot of trouble. The recent incident of the blood League, the rise of the reformers, and the rebellion of Lei Chenghu all arose as a result.

Standing in front of such a dead circle, Dongfang Wang, the "iron Prime Minister", also had a headache and was helpless.

Many times he thought of his biggest political enemy, Li Jiande, who had been dead for a hundred years.

Li Jiande, the "silver fox" a hundred years ago, also served as the Prime Minister of the Empire. He worked hard and became ill. He became obsessed and fell from the state of distraction. Since then, he has never been able to get sick and is at arm's length with the imperial politics.

At that time, dongfangwang once laughed at Li Jiande for being really old, how to be the first person to meet him as if he was in a mess.

Only when he was grilled on this fire did he know the taste of riding a tiger. He also felt vaguely that maybe Li Jiande's best choice was to "never get sick".

Perhaps, the sea of stars is too big, and manpower is sometimes poor. Even with the computing power and wisdom of distraction period, and even the arrival of real gods and demons, there is no way to completely and effectively rule hundreds of worlds, right?

Or perhaps the boundless sea of stars is too small to satisfy the chaotic desires of every human being?

It was in this state of mind that Dongfang Wang received the report of "crying mausoleum incident".

He stared at the report for a long time. It seemed that he wanted to find clues in every dry line of words. He resisted the impulse of rage and asked a key question

"Even though these generals and cadets of the Royal Academy of higher officers and the clansmen living inside and outside the imperial mausoleum all" spontaneously gathered ", how did so many disabled veterans from the outside world of the Empire mix into the imperial capital? It's impossible to jump to the surface of the imperial capital in a sea of stars, isn't it

Dongfangwang smelled the smell of conspiracy.

Some aides have suggested that these people who gathered to cry at the mausoleum are all lawless and disorderly. They are suspected of treason. Should we immediately send troops to suppress them and arrest all the leaders?

Dongfang Wang glared the aide out, pondered for a moment, and gave some instructions.

First, we should immediately set up intercepting lines around the mausoleum, forbid people to enter, and never let more people into the mausoleum.

Second, cut off all the spiritual networks and all the communication signals near the mausoleum to ensure that nothing, a word or a picture, happened in the mausoleum can be leaked to the outside world. Of course, all the media still in the mausoleum must be controlled and must not talk or move.

Third, we should immediately investigate the sources of millions of disabled veterans, and we must find out as soon as possible how they were organized into the imperial capital. This is the most important thing!

Dongfangwang's response was not timely.

This kind of standard procedure, similar to the one used by the imperial authorities to suppress riots, can be said to be handy.

But this time there were a series of accidents.

The imperial mausoleum is the site of the imperial army. There are many imperial families in the troops guarding the mausoleum. They are all agitated at the moment, and they are very resistant to the troops of the four imperial families.

The skinny camel is bigger than the horse. No matter how depressed and unbearable the imperial guards are, there are still hundreds of rusty master starships.

These starships were pulled into the vacuum of the universe to join the fleet of the four general election emperors and Marquis families. Naturally, they were seeking their own death. Even before others opened fire, they were paralyzed, torn, lost temperature, pressure and weightlessness.

But in the atmosphere, in the vicinity of the imperial mausoleum surrounded by a circle, firmly defend their last piece of territory, barely able to do.

The imperial guards are going to protect the disabled veterans. The disabled veterans are shouting the names of Shenwu emperor and black star emperor. The scene is really touching. Even if the fleet and crystal armor battle group of the four election emperors and Marquis families arrive, what can they do? Do you want to kill these clansmen and veterans in full view of the public?

The progress of Lingwang and the media is also not smooth.

There are four groups that provide spiritual network services for the extreme world and the Celestial Star, which belong to the four election families. The network is the most important infrastructure of modern civilization, and the four election families naturally do not want to be controlled by others in this respect.

At dongfangwang's command, dongfangjia's Lingwang service provider cut off the network instantly, and the other two followed up one after another. However, the Lingwang base station belonging to Li's family did not move, and it still kept sending information from the imperial mausoleum to the outside world.

And the media, too.

The families of the four general election emperors have a lot of media. It is even said that all the "official media" of the Empire have the endorsement of the families of the four general election emperors, and the whole media is monopolized by the oligarchs.

When such a big event happened, the rest of the media did not dare to act rashly before they received the instructions from the summit.

However, the Li family's multi-media, however, was moved by the news and released a large number of shocking news first!
