Chapter 2269 Storm, unstoppable!

The addition of millions of disabled veterans has completely escalated the "Crying Tomb Incident" into a major storm that swept the entire planet and even the entire empire.

When the roar of the storm came, the prime minister of the Real Human Empire, the head of the Dongfang family, and Dongfang Wang, known as the "iron-blooded prime minister", was conducting friendly and constructive discussions on the Prime Minister's residence not far from the Senate to the next year's special defense budget and the heads of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant departments.

To put it bluntly, it is just falling into the vortex of numbers, and everyone is arguing!

Dongfangwang has been the prime minister of the empire for twenty years. Many people say that he is the most powerful prime minister in the empire in recent hundreds of years. The word "iron blood" is definitely not a false reputation.

Only in this way did Dongfang Wang know deeply how difficult it is to coordinate and balance the interests of hundreds of worlds, thousands of resource planets, countless forces, sects, warlords, and super strong people.

On the surface, he was an arrogant and domineering powerful minister, and even the glory of the emperor was overshadowed by him.

In fact, the other three major families firmly grasped military power and formed their own systems in their respective territories. They either violated the orders from the Prime Minister's residence or ignored them. Some policies would touch their interests. Even if they were just pulling out a hair, these people would dare to pick up the sword and fight with him, and even fight in the Senate. The two veterans fought like rogues!

This is true for the other three families. Even within the Dongfang family, how could they listen to him as the "master"?

The Oriental family has been developing for thousands of years, and naturally there are many mountains and rivers within it, with many factions, and seven worlds with the highest level of development. Which world does not have a big boss in charge?

These big shots are all high-level or even peak-level figures in the God Transformation Stage. Some are his peers, some are even his elders. He can become the head of the Dongfang family and even the prime minister of the empire, and rely on these people to strongly support him. How can he reach the end and touch the interests of these people without mercy?

Let’s talk about the special defense budget for the next year.

The Empire's counterattack lasted for more than ten years, and it used more than a few billion troops. It occupied so many new worlds. The supply line was long and long, people ate and horses, and lost along the way. All kinds of messy expenses consumed the accumulation of the treasury in the past nearly a hundred years. The economic conditions of many worlds behind were extremely poor, and famines began to occur in many places.

The war cannot be fought anymore, and the scale of the expeditionary force will inevitably be reduced, but reorganization and disarmament involve large severance expenses, retirement and pensions, and many military tickets and shares have been rewarded for a long time, saying that it will be cashed after victory, and how to cash it is a huge trouble.

Therefore, not only will the national defense expenditure be indispensable next year, but it will even be more than in previous years, which is considered a "pain of peace."

The problem now is that there is no money. Of course, it is not that there is no money in the treasury. The four electoral families of emperors are still rich, but if they have money, they should use money to fill the holes. There must be a constitution.

Dongfang looked to find the other three companies to get a charter. The other three companies looked at him very tame, gentle and obediently, praising them that the Dongfang family was the first family of the empire, with great wealth and great strength, and their wrists were thicker than other companies, and their strength was more than twice that of other companies. Naturally, the Dongfang family still had to make the decision on this charter. Anyway, the Dongfang family took the lead in filling this hole first, and after filling it almost, the other three companies continued to fill it, ensuring that a penny was indispensable.

Dongfang Wang couldn't even pay any money after all. The three families pointed to their own starships and giant gods and said that in order to fight the Empire's counterattack, the money was spent here, so how could there be any surplus food?

Dongfang Wang gritted his teeth and went to discuss with his bosses from all the hills. The bosses whispered and said that when he first chose Dongfang Wang to be the prime minister, he wanted him to do his best to get more benefits for his family. Why didn’t he get the benefits now, and he had to pay out his own family first? Was he the Prime Minister of the Dongfang family, or the Prime Minister of the Li family and the Yun family?

Opposite is a big shot in the peak realm of the God Transformation Period who controls the entire world of heavy industry. Dongfang Wang can still kill someone else and search the house? You can only discuss it!

After discussing, I have the same idea as other bigwigs. As for money and resources, I can still get a little bit of it, but I can't just slap it in vain. I have to exchange the land, property rights, development rights and management rights of the newly revived area.

After a while, before the front line was ceased, several core worlds with rich resources in the Xinguangfu area had been divided up, which naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the worlds outside the empire, believing that their interests had been greatly infringed.

Until now, things have turned into an unsolvable knot.

Without the support of various wealthy and resourceful interest groups in the four major electoral families, the Expeditionary Force would not be able to successfully complete the reorganization and abolition, and the national economy would not be able to return from the wartime system to the track of peaceful development. Even the disabled veterans and retired officers outside the empire would not be supported, and sooner or later chaos would be caused.

However, the bleeding of these interest groups was at the cost of various rights and interests in the new revival area, which naturally hurt the interests of many people and classes, and even betrayed the promises to many local factions before the war. If you are not careful, you will also cause the recent Blood Alliance incident that has repeatedly caused the rise of the reformists and the rebellion of Lei Chenghu, which all arose.

Standing in front of such an unsolvable vicious cycle, the "iron-blooded Prime Minister" Dongfang Wang was also in a panic and helpless.

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

Li Jiande, a "silver fox" a hundred years ago, also served as the prime minister of the empire. He worked hard during his tenure and became sick after overwork. He became obsessed with the realm of distracting spirits. He fell from the state of distraction. He never got sick and was inseparable from the imperial political arena.

Dongfang Wang once ridiculed Li Jiande for being so old, so why would he think he was so embarrassed to be the prime minister?

When he was roasted on this fire, he realized the feeling of being unable to get rid of a tiger. He even vaguely felt that perhaps Li Jiande's "not able to afford to get sick" was the most clever choice.

Perhaps, the sea of ​​stars is too big, and human power is sometimes poor. Even if you have the computing power and wisdom of the God-Distraction period, or even the real gods and demons are coming, you cannot achieve a thorough and effective rule over the hundreds of worlds, right?

Or maybe, the vast starry sea is still too small to satisfy the chaotic desires of every human being?

It was in this state of mind that Dongfang Wang received a report on the "Crying Tomb Incident".

He stared at the report for a long time, as if he wanted to see clues from every line of dry words. He resisted the urge to be furious and asked the most critical question:

"Even if these generals and clans from the Royal Higher Military Academy and the royal family living inside and outside the imperial tombs were 'spoken', how did so many disabled veterans from the outer world of the empire intervene into the imperial capital? It's impossible to jump directly to the surface of the imperial capital in a single starry sea, right?"

Dongfangwang smelled the scent of conspiracy.

Some aides suggested that these people who gathered to cry tomb were all inappropriate and committed rebellion, and were suspected of being ruthless. Will they immediately send troops to suppress them and arrest all the leaders?

Dongfang Wang glared the aide fiercely, pondered for a moment, and gave several instructions.

First, immediately set up an interception line outside the imperial tomb, and no entry is allowed, and no more people will be allowed to flock to the imperial tomb.

Second, cut off all the spiritual networks and all communication signals near the imperial tomb to ensure that any thing that happens in the imperial tomb, a word or a picture, cannot be leaked to the outside world. Of course, all media still in the imperial tomb must also be controlled and must not speak or move randomly.

Third, immediately investigate the source of millions of disabled veterans, and be sure to find out how they were organized and mixed into the imperial capital as soon as possible. This is the top priority!

Dongfangwang's reaction was timely.

This standard procedure similar to suppressing riots is also often implemented by the imperial authorities, and it is very familiar.

But this time there were a series of accidents.

The imperial tomb is the territory of the Imperial Guards. There are many royal families in the tomb guarding troops. They are all incited at this moment and are extremely resistant to the troops of the four major electoral emperor families.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how depressed and incompetent the Imperial Guards are, there are still hundreds of rusty starships.

These starships were pulled into the cosmic vacuum to fire with the fleets of the four Electoral Emperors' families, and naturally they were seeking death. Before others even opened fire, they were paralyzed, torn, lost temperature, pressure and weight loss.

But in the atmosphere, it is barely possible to form a circle near the imperial tomb and firmly defend its last piece of territory.

The Imperial Guard wanted to protect the disabled veterans. The disabled veterans shouted the names of Emperor Shenwu and Emperor Black Star. The scene was really touching. Even if the fleets and Crystal Armor Team of the four major electoral emperors arrived, what could it be? The sky was blue and white, and the public looked at each other, would these royal families and veterans be killed?

The progress of Lingwang and the media is not going well.

There are four groups that provide spiritual network services for Ji Tianjie and Tianjixing, which are just divided into four major electoral families. The network is the most important infrastructure of modern civilization. The four major electoral families are naturally unwilling to be controlled by others in this regard.

At the command of Dongfang Wang, Dongfang's Lingwang service providers instantly stopped the Internet, and the other two companies followed suit, but the Lingwang base stations belonging to the Li family were not moving for a long time, and still continuously transmitting information from the imperial tombs.

There is also the media, the same is true.

The four major electoral families have many media, and even said that all the "official media" of the empire are endorsed by the four major electoral families, and the entire media is monopolized by oligopolises.

Such a big incident happened, and the other media naturally did not dare to act rashly before receiving instructions from the peak.
