Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Just when the Bupai Republic was besieged on all sides and the Rakshasa Empire was advancing vigorously, a meeting to determine the fate of the empire was also taking place in the capital of Daxia.

From December 1930 to the present, the war has lasted for more than a year.

At the same time, Daxia also declared war on Sakura Country for more than half a year. Although until now, the empire still has no plans to invade the mainland of Sakura Country, but at this time, Sakura Country has long been reduced to ruins.

Basically all the cities in Sakura Country have been visited by Daxia's fighter planes.

If a plane could fly across the entire Sakura Country now, it would be found that there is no complete city in Sakura Country at this time, and there are ruins everywhere.

And due to the long-term blockade and bombing in Daxia, Sakura's domestic food production has been seriously reduced, and ordinary people are basically hungry.

The limited food was supplied to the army first, which also made the people at the bottom of Sakura Country a little dissatisfied.

But what does these things have to do with Daxia?

This is not the topic of the meeting held in Beijing today.

Lin Yi was sitting in the military conference room, listening to the suggestions put forward by the people below.

This proposal was put forward by the Imperial General Staff, hoping that the Empire could capture Tianzhu and Australia as soon as possible.

The Imperial General Staff believes that the empire has now entered a state of war, and most military and civilian factories in the empire are constantly producing military supplies.

At this time, military supply warehouses across the empire were full, and continuing production would cause a waste of resources.

At the same time, the General Staff also received a report from the cabinet, saying that since the empire entered a state of war last year, the gross national product has declined.

Therefore, both the Imperial General Staff and the Cabinet hope to end this war as soon as possible.

In other words, the empire is ready for all-out war. Able to deal with multiple wars at the same time. Therefore, at this time, the empire should change its strategy and take the initiative.

Because they found that whether it was the Millennium or the John Empire, they seemed to be focusing on Europe.

As for Sakura Country, they only provided material support and had no intention of competing with Daxia in the Western Pacific.

Since Milician and John Empire are not fooled, there is no need for Daxia to continue playing with them.

Therefore, the General Staff felt that the empire should take the initiative to capture Tianzhu and Australia.

In this way, the empire can completely control the entire Western Pacific.

After listening to the General Staff's report, Lin Yi looked at Li Fu beside him.

As the imperial cabinet minister, Li Fu naturally has the authority to sit here and hold meetings with people from the military department.

Now that he saw Lin Yi's questioning gaze, he naturally understood what Lin Yi meant.

He cleared his throat and then continued: "Your Majesty, last year the empire's taxes did drop by 3% compared to the year before."

"And an expert group predicts that various taxes will continue to decline this year, probably between 10% and 12%."

"Although the empire can still hold on for now, and can even hold on for a few more years, but..."

Before Li Fu finished speaking, Lin Yi raised his hand to stop Li Fu from speaking.

He really didn't expect that it would have such a huge impact on the empire.

Last year, it only took half a year to switch production, but it fell by 3%, and this year it fell by 12%. Such a large decline is enough to affect the development of the empire.

At the same time, so many materials are produced and kept in warehouses, which is not a long-term solution at all.

Many times, people think that war is actually a good opportunity to make a fortune. But this is not the case.

To give a simple example, when a product is produced, it naturally has value. And this value lies in the fact that it needs to be sold and used by others to be valuable.

Many military items are actually restricted to ordinary people.

For example, military uniforms, military rations, canned food, etc.

These things require a large amount of materials and food, but there is no way for these things to flow into the market, and the materials cannot be circulated, so naturally they have no value.

Some people may say, aren’t these supplies purchased by the military? How can it be considered as not circulating?

It is true that the military purchased these materials, but the military's warehouses are limited. Just like now, the materials have been piled up in all the empire's warehouses.

Naturally, if the warehouse is saturated, we will not continue to buy without limit.

To put it bluntly, even if the empire continues to purchase, it will continue to build warehouses to store these materials. But this also takes up the factory's production capacity.

After occupying productivity, it will naturally lead to the reduction of other civilian supplies. The unit price of goods increased.

As people's living costs increase, the money left in people's hands will decrease.

After the money in the hands of the people decreases, they will naturally stop stimulating the financial market, and the empire's tax revenue will decrease.

The reduction in imperial tax revenue will lead to a reduction in national income, and there will be no way to place orders for military factories.

If the military factory cannot get orders, the only way to go bankrupt is to go bankrupt.

Therefore, if a country maintains a war production model for a long time, the negative impact will be very serious.

Lin Yi only considered passive counterattack before, which is not wrong, but all this needs to be based on the premise that John Empire and Millikin take the initiative to attack.

But now it is obvious that the John Empire and Milician were not fooled. They only hope to hold Daxia back through the Sakura Kingdom.

In this case, Daxia should change his strategy in time, take the initiative, and force them to come over and fight with him.

One Sakura Country is not enough, so what if we add Tianzhu and Australia?

Lin Yi didn't believe that the John Empire and Milician would really watch Daxia take over all of Asia and remain indifferent.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi stood up and announced that from now on, the armies of Daxia have officially entered a state of war.

And began to form the South Asia Front Army Headquarters, with the goal of attacking Tianzhu, with a total strength of 120 million troops, including 50 troops from South Asia and Southeast Asian dependent countries.

The Australian Front Army Headquarters was established, under the jurisdiction of the Empire's Third Combined Fleet, including 30 servants from various countries in the Java Islands. The total strength exceeds 150 million.

One of the combat targets is Tianzhu in South Asia, and the other is mainland Australia.

The Australian continent naturally also includes all southern hemisphere islands including New Zealand.

At the same time, the Second Combined Fleet was required to sail to the Kingdom of Hawaii and establish a bridgehead there to ensure that the empire's military operations in the Western Pacific would not be disturbed by the Millennium and John Empires.

Try to capture Tianzhu and the Australian mainland within one to one and a half years.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's arrangement, all the officers present stood up and saluted Lin Yi, indicating that they understood Lin Yi's order.
