Chapter 255: 255 Victory of the Empire

Due to mistaken upload this is  chapter 256       

Zhao Lingxin's orders were sent to the front line. The Chang'an Front under the command of Lieutenant General Li Fengyang. He orders to open the attack on the Demon army with full force.

This Western Front is served with over seven hundred thousand veteran soldiers. The Empire is preparing everything to attack the demonic horde on the other side, killing as many Demons in front of them as they can.

Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, artillery and missiles, and air support, The Empire use all mobilize fierce attacks to dissolve the demonic forces completely.

The imperial army was under the devil-suppressing magic formation. There is no need to worry about being attacked by demons. As if there was a shield always to protect the Empire army all the time.

The demon hordes could only stand and look, not daring to go near the golden machine magic. Then the body of those demons fell to the ground, dying to death by a bullet.

This was a sufficient attack of the imperial army. They do not have to do anything except firing the rifle using what they have. It can quickly kill demons in just a single minute.

The Demon General only stared angrily. He was watching his army fade away like melting snow.

"Hmph, if not because of the devil-suppressing magic. Is there such a way that we must be like this?" The devil suppression magic formation was all demons' suppressing stars. Even the Demon General had to retreat several steps from that golden light.

"General, what are we supposed to do?" Even a demon pensioner. They still could not resist this range of attacks on the Empire. They had to start asking the demon general.

"Damn, those humans are still too arrogant," the Demon General was upset. Even being attacked like this, they cannot still break through to kill humans in front of them.

"Retreat!" The Demon General decided to retreat again. Because staying in this battle is useless, It will only sacrifice to the last of their life.

The sound of the retreat echoed far across the battlefield. Millions of demons hurriedly obeyed the order—withdrawal from the range of line aura of the mechanical magic.

This is the second retreat of the demon horde. The Demon General also felt deeply shattered to retreat because of humanity.

"This is not over yet! I will get you back on that !."

When the demon hordes retreated, The soldiers in the line were shouting with joy.

"The demons have retreated."

"Bravo, victory is upon us." The soldiers raised their guns to the air. Shout for joy for their success.

Although the front line successfully pushed the enemy, the imperial army did not move on forward because they achieved victory come from the devil suppression magic.

While the devil suppression magic spread its radius to its full strength it could not expand the scope anymore—the imperial army on the front of more than seven hundred thousand people. Therefore not moving after the enemy. They continue to defend at the Front lines.

The side of the demon general saw that the enemy did not invade. Ordered to stop the army ten kilometers from the mechanical magic line of range, The distance between the two armies was not too close to each other.

Another victory on the western front.

Lieutenant General Li Fengyang immediately sent it to Zhao Lingxin.

Zhao Lingxin, in the writing room, looked at the papers of Lieutenant Li Fengyang. Before putting it down.

"Vanguard was a success. From now on, the Empire won't have to worry about the Demon Realm for a while," Zhao Lingxin said.

General Guo Ling was in the writing room, and after Zhao Ling Xin finished the space tour. The Cabinet followed Zhao Lingxin back to the capital. Work as usual daily routines.

"His Highness will decrease economic measures at all right now or not."

General Guo Ling asked.

According to Zhao Lingxin's war economy decree, it was Causing the Security Council to take control of industrial plants throughout the country, including an economic system that has undergone government intervention.

The War Economy Decree, which helps the Empire cope with demons in a timely manner, has weapons, ammunition, and equipment ready for battle. But it also caused the country's economy to recession because the government rewards the private sector with war bonds that are now printed too much to inflate Bonds.

The Security Council began to find a way to return the economy to work by itself, where Zhao Lingxin will start to relax economic measures.

"Is there a problem with our manpower?" Zhao Lingxin asked.

"Your Majesty, now the army's armament, We now have more than eighty percent have been achieved," replied General Guo Ling.

The Security Council has ordered more than five million people to recruit. This large number of personnel required enormous amounts of ammunition, including clothing, shoes, uniforms, firearms, and spare materials that cost training, which is a huge budget.

In the past, with the war economy decree, Zhao Lingxin spent a minimal budget.

The army now has accumulated enough strategic materials. Zhao Lingxin, therefore, thought to unlock the easing of economic measures.

"Then I will repeal the war economy decree." Zhao Lingxin ordered people to bring the documents that Zhao Lingxin previously signed before the war economy was marked. With immediate effect by now.

The government will return all industrial plants to the private sector. Cancel labor overtime at twelve hours a day. And from now on, if the government orders equipment from the private sector, It is necessary to pay according to the actual value.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance informed me that Government debt this year has soared to more than fifty million yuan. We have absolutely no way to pay back now. "

General Guo Ling reported.

Lt. Colonel Yao Long, the finance minister, was almost crazy. Because the country's debt has skyrocketed too much and amounted to over fifty million yuan, And it is likely to rise up for more as well, with the government's revenues inconsistent with the obligation.

Initially, the Empire had a number of debts. This debt comes from the government's investment in infrastructure across the country.

And after the government has annexed other territories and is still responsible for the protectorate state. As A Result, the country's debt soared this time.

The government debt crisis may be enough. However, the invasion of the Demon Realm would make the debt crisis even more severe.

Lt. Colonel Yao Long, the government's finance minister, could no longer control the government's financial system. Because the Security Council needs to borrow money to deal with the invasion of the Demon Realm.

Mobilization of over five million men, Just by paying each person a salary, the government may be financially damaging each month without having to do anything.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance has notified you. Within three months, the government's debt could rise to seventy million yuan," said General Guo Ling.

"Where are all the taxes collected?" Asked Zhao Lingxin. Because, as usual, it should be taxable sufficiently.

"Your Majesty, now the country is in crisis. The amount of tax collected is less than expected. Now the private sector is requesting further postponement of tax payments."

General Guo Ling replied.

Even the private sector is growing in need. The government's financial situation is worse than expected.

"Where do most of us borrow money from?" Zhao Lingxin asked the source of the loan whether there might be some solution.

"Your Majesty, we are now borrowing money from the domestic financial sector. Most of the creditors are investors and businessmen," said General Guo Ling.

When Zhao Lingxin heard that Has a bright face.

"If so, don't worry. Increase the borrowing even further," Zhao Lingxin decided.

"Your Majesty, is that alright?" General Guo Ling had a shocked expression at the moment he heard that the emperor wanted to borrow even more money.

"Your Highness, if we are unable to pay our debt. At that time, the government's credibility would deteriorate greatly," General Guo Ling tried to fight. Prohibited Zhao Lingxin.

"Do not worry, Prime Minister, I have a plan to deal with," said Zhao Lingxin, pointing to the sky.

"What do you mean?" General Guo Ling asked, with incomprehensible meaning.

Zhao Lingxin began to explain.

"Right now, on the entrepreneurial side, business people are interested in the right to stay in Sky City, Tai Yang Zhou. I thought of borrowing a lot of money and then letting them excuse us for the debt. In exchange for the right to access the Sky City, Tai Yang Zhou." Zhao Lingxin smiled wilily.

The Sky City of Tai Yang Zhou was the sole proprietorship of Zhao Lingxin. And the journey is not easy, and you have to rely on spaceships, including access to Tai Yang Zhou, which has many security systems.

Therefore, Zhao Lingxin was not worried at all. In Zhao Lingxin's hands, there was something that many capitalists still wanted to go into even more debt. If the government is concise on money, just throwing out one of the patents so they can then make money.

"If you have a plan to deal with, I will trust." General Guo Ling looked eased. He was not worried about debt anymore.

At that moment, someone asked to meet Zhao Lingxin.

"Your Majesty, they have a representative from the Major Sects requesting to meet with you," said Foreign Minister Lieutenant Li Wei.

"Which sect do they belong to?" Zhao Lingxin asked. Recently, the people who contacted the Empire had only two major sects, the Five Element Sects, and the King Slayer Devil Palace.

However, Zhao Lingxin made a mistake.

"It's someone from the Divine Temple," Lieutenant Li Wei replied.
