Chapter 73 Please Contribute to the Empire
When everyone's eyes were on this group of people.
This group of people slowly opened their eyes and turned their heads to look at the people around them.
"So, do you think it's our responsibility?"
The one who spoke was a man in the group.
He was not very old, probably around 30 years old, with a face full of flesh and eyes full of brilliance.
The muscles hidden under the thin clothes were towering and bulging, showing the man's strength.
While speaking, he also looked at the leader of the defense organization.
There was no murderous intent in those eyes, but people felt a wave of oppression.
Under this oppressive feeling, the leader of the defense organization quietly looked away.
"I just proposed a possibility. I personally believe that the dereliction of duty in this matter has nothing to do with you."
He said weakly.
The man glanced at him, snorted lightly, and stopped talking.
However, the man stopped talking, which did not mean that the people with him stopped talking.
Another younger man, who was only about 20 years old and had an ordinary appearance, scratched his head and spoke frankly.
"Anyway, please don't throw the responsibility on us, okay?"
No one paid attention to him.
Everyone's eyes were on the man and the other woman.
This young man was just an extra for this meeting.
Everyone knew that the right to speak was in the hands of the other two people.
"Alas~"
"I really don't know how long you will see."
"I said, it has nothing to do with us!"
In this increasingly oppressive atmosphere, the man opened his eyes again.
This time his tone was not as calm as before, but full of irritability, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
"Or do you plan to be our enemy?"
After a pause, the man added.
"No, there is no such possibility."
"No, I have always believed in you."
"Your organization has always performed its duties conscientiously, how could it be dereliction of duty? This is just a little joke."
"Yes, we looked at you only because we haven't seen you for a long time, there is absolutely no other reason?"
The round table meeting immediately became more noisy when the man's words were heard.
Everyone hurriedly denied it.
At this time, they remembered the man's identity.
One of the members of the Military Committee, one of the most powerful people in the empire.
This is not something they can offend casually.
The Military Committee is a special department that controls all the military power of the empire. They are willing to attend this meeting to give face, and they want to throw the responsibility on them. This is really a matter of peeing far away from the old and the young - not afraid of forks.
Even if it is His Majesty the Emperor, he will not blame the Military Committee too much unless it is necessary.
"Okay, everyone."
"Let's continue the meeting."
When everyone was hurriedly explaining, the woman next to the man opened her eyes and spoke.
"Tina——"
The man looked at Tina, but she shook her head at him, her clear eyes swept across the scene.
"We are gathered here now, should we discuss the changes, not to shirk responsibility?"
"Your Excellency Tina is right."
As soon as Tina finished speaking, someone echoed her.
"In that case, let's continue."
Tina said calmly, tapping her fingers on the table.
Immediately, the authority of the Empire Skynet was immediately mobilized, and countless images of the Royal Capital appeared in the center of the round table.
The crowd was noisy and chaotic, and the Royal Capital was rapidly turning into a lawless place.
"As you can see, the Royal Capital is becoming disorderly, people are restless, and the hidden criminals who are suppressed on weekdays are also taking advantage of this opportunity to move."
"If this continues, civilians will suffer great casualties and production capacity will also be reduced."
"I don't think this is what you want to see."
Tina said coldly, her eyes swept across the faces of each person.
There was anger, helplessness, pain, and unwillingness on the faces of these people.
The only thing was that there was no sadness about the casualties of civilians.
"This group of unruly people! They only cause trouble to others!"
Someone roared impatiently.
"I think it's not just the capital now, but all parts of the empire have fallen into chaos."
"After all, the sky above our heads does not belong to the control of our empire, and the whole world can see it."
Tina nodded to the young man.
Immediately, the young man took out a document from his arms and threw it to the others.
"This is a report on the border."
"All the countries around us, except the elves, are all ready to move, and want to take this opportunity to do something."
"Especially the group of orcs, who are trying their best to weaken our strength so that we can slow down their pace."
"For this reason, they are gathering troops at the border."
Hearing this, another group of people changed their faces.
"If the pace slows down in this regard, His Majesty will be furious."
"That's right, only in this regard, we need to suppress it strongly and cannot let His Majesty down!"
The two ministers of foreign affairs immediately stood up and said.
Are you kidding me? If something like this really happened, it would not be the military commission that would be held accountable, but their foreign affairs department.
"That's what I thought too."
Tina pursed her lips and smiled, as if flowers were in full bloom.
"I plan to deploy 500,000 troops to garrison at the major borders and use this to deter the orcs."
"In this case, they must not dare to act rashly."
There is nothing wrong with Tina's idea, and the two people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also agree.
"that……"
"I have a question."
At this time, the people from the finance department who carefully looked at the documents Tina gave them raised their hands.
"But it doesn't matter."
Tina nodded.
"Your Excellency Tina's method is indeed good, but I discovered something from this document."
"Our troops at the border are less than half a million, and there are not that many defenders in the cities near the border."
"Where do you get half a million to suppress border countries?"
Hearing this, Tina looked at the man.
Next, the man spoke.
"It's very simple. Recruit troops where they are."
"Expand the army until the number is sufficient."
Bang!
"No, such a large-scale recruitment will definitely trigger riots. Do you want the empire to fall into civil strife?"
Only the titular vigilante minister expressed his outrage.
"Calm down a little."
The man smiled and waved. At this time, his mood became better.
"Unconditional conscription will of course lead to riots, but we can give people an irresistible offer so that people can vote voluntarily."
"You mean?"
"Who in this world can refuse the temptation of money?"
The foreign minister frowned.
"Use money? Spend money to expand the army? This is indeed good, but does your military committee have so much reserve money? This is not a small amount of money."
Hearing this, the man laughed even harder.
Then, he looked at Tina.
Tina was laughing too and stood up.
"The Military Council is known to be an incorruptible organization, so of course we don't have that kind of money."
"However, for the sake of the stability of the empire, we have to expand our army to deal with the severe situation in this situation."
"so……"
Tina's eyes scanned the surroundings again.
"I have no choice but to trouble you all and contribute to the empire."
