If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

Hearing the conclusion of the Blue Chess Tournament, Zongze held up another finger: "Regarding my first suggestion, point two..."

At this point, Zongze suddenly stopped and looked at the ministers. This glance made everyone uneasy. They thought to themselves, "Your first suggestion is such a terrifying thing as punishing nine generations of relatives. What kind of monster is your second suggestion?"

Seeing the slightly frightened looks in everyone's eyes, especially Fox's, the old demon Zong withdrew his wicked humor: "Building an air force cannot be done by recruiting skilled craftsmen from the civilian population. In fact, this thing is not that complicated. For the sake of secrecy, I suggest that we select soldiers with high loyalty to the Empire from various legions and establish a special unit to do this. Only in this way can we truly keep it a secret!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out this kid was waiting here for military power!

The civil officials breathed a sigh of relief, but the military officers became even more tense. Why? Just listen to what this young man had to say! He wanted to poach people from our ranks!

"You brat!" The first one to express some dissatisfaction was naturally Zongze's biological father: "Approximately how many people does your unit need?"

"Let me do the math!" Zong Ze muttered, counting on his fingers. "Researchers, manufacturing personnel, air strike forces, and ground crew!"

After calculating for a while, Zong Ze looked up and said, "Including combat personnel, it will require about 50,000 people?"

"Fifty thousand men?" Zong Kuang nodded, looking relieved. "That's about half a corps. Our empire currently has twelve corps. If we were to draw from each corps, it would be less than half a percent. Not bad! Acceptable!"

"Alright, since General Zong says there's no problem, then I grant your permission!" Lan Qizhan waved his hand again: "Order all corps to prepare, and General Zong can mobilize troops at any time!"

Then, Lan Qizhan frowned slightly again: "However, all the empire's legions have their own titles, but Zong Ze, your air force is only equivalent to half a legion. What name should you give it?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Upon hearing Lan Qizhan's question, Fox immediately stepped forward: "Since the air force built by General Zong is the first air force unit on our continent, its name must be impressive. I suggest that it be called the Royal Air Force of the Ruen Empire!"

Hearing Fox's words, Lan Qizhan nodded repeatedly! Thinking about it, it made sense; this was the first air force on the entire continent—if it wasn't named Royal, what else could it be called? However, just as he was about to make a decision, he was startled by a single sentence from Zong Ze!

"Lord Tongxing!" Zong Ze didn't care what Lan Qizhan was thinking. He didn't care if it was the royal family or the Huang family; the army he built had to be named according to his own preferences. However, he was a civilized man, so he wouldn't use foul language; doing things required wisdom!

"General Zong, what is it?" Everyone was racking their brains to come up with a name for the new air force, and some were even pondering the words "Royal Air Force." This included Chief Judge Tong Xing. Now that Zong Ze had suddenly called on him, Tong Xing hurriedly replied that this young man was currently enjoying the Emperor's favor and should not be offended.

"Tie up this guy who leaked our empire's biggest military secret!" Zong Ze suddenly pointed at Fox and said, "And send troops to seal off his residence and surround his territory! In case anyone escapes when his entire family is executed! I suspect he is a spy sent by another country!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Fox screamed when Zong Ze accused him of leaking secrets and even called him a spy!

Although Zong Ze had implied that he was a spy, Fox didn't care much at the time. After all, he was still an important minister of the empire and there was no need to get angry over a kid's nonsense. But now it's different. This kid is no longer a kid. He is a general with the title of marquis. Moreover, he just said that his entire family would be exterminated. How could Fox not be anxious?

"Xiao Zongze, although you are still young, you are already a general. You can't just accuse others of being spies in court. That could cost you your head!" Lan Qizhan was also a little unhappy when he saw Zongze accusing Fox of being a spy again!

"Your Majesty, I'm not talking nonsense!" Zong Ze said solemnly, "I already said that building an air force is no small matter and must not be leaked. Even Grandpa Flot just said the same thing!"

"I know that!" Lan Qizhan's displeasure deepened: "What does that have to do with your random accusations that others are spies?"

"Where did I make any unfounded accusations?" Zong Ze raised his voice as well: "Such a secret unit, why did Lord Fox insist on naming it the Royal Air Force? Are people from other countries stupid? Don't they know what we're going to do just by hearing that name?"

"Hmm!" Hearing Zong Ze say this, everyone nodded. Seeing everyone's expressions, Zong Ze jumped up and said, "Look, everyone knows the reason, but Lord Fox still wants to name his child like this. Shouldn't I suspect him of treason?"

"Ahem!" Lan Qizhan didn't know how to answer for a moment. Although he knew that Fox was only suggesting the title of Royal Air Force to flatter him, Lan Qizhan just couldn't bring himself to say it!

Seeing that Lan Qizhan was only coughing and not speaking, Fox panicked. The Empire had abolished the kneeling ceremony to respect the nobility; ministers only needed to bow before the Emperor. However, Fox disregarded these formalities and knelt down with a thud!

"Your Majesty, you must believe me! I have no ulterior motives. I simply find the name of the Royal Air Force impressive. I truly have no intention of colluding with the enemy!"

"Ahem!" Old Flort glanced at Zong Ze first, and seeing his expression, Old Flort understood that Zong Ze had no intention of taking the opportunity to deal with Fox at all, but simply wanted to annoy Fox!

Knowing Zongze's thoughts, old Freud stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this old minister believes that Lord Fox truly has no ulterior motives. Besides, at present, we are living in peace with other empires and duchies, and there is no question of us colluding with the enemy!"

"Hehe!" Lan Qizhan chuckled twice: "Teacher is right, that's what I was thinking too! Xiao Zongze, let's not pursue the matter of Fox. I know his loyalty to the Empire. He must have just made a mistake in a moment of carelessness! Let's talk about the name of the newly established air force. Since you are the one who built the force, I think it would be better if you came up with the name!"

Seeing that things were taking a turn for the better, Fox quickly chimed in, "Your Majesty is wise! General Zong was the best to name you!" After saying that, Fox looked at Zong Ze pitifully.

"Hmph!" Zong Ze glanced at Fox, giving him a 'you're lucky' look before continuing, "This unit is mostly composed of mechanical combat power, so I think the name 'Divine Machine Battalion' is quite good!"
