The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

As expected, at the beginning of the meeting, the first thing that came out was a bunch of bad news.

"General."

"The Mechanical Legion has occupied nearly two-thirds of the southern continent."

"Although the warriors of the Holy Sun Empire, holding their boundless loyalty to the empire, swore to fight the invading enemy to the death."

"But the number of aircraft and tanks in the Mechanical Legion is still too large—

"At present, millions of soldiers and civilians have been suppressed in several coastal cities."

"Ammunition, weapons, medicine, food...all kinds of things are in short supply."

"The casualties were very heavy."

"They hope we can send supplies as soon as possible and arrange transport ships to pick them up from the city."

As the staff officer spoke, he handed out a list of supplies.

Major General Hase threw the list aside without even looking at it.

“Asking us for supplies—how could they think of that!!”

"They've lost such a vital industrial center like Yinjuyuan. Where am I going to find supplies for nearly ten million people?!"

“Let them fend for themselves!!”

"As loyal subjects of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, the more difficult times are, the more we must use our wisdom and courage and not cause trouble for us!"

“Encourage them to stay put.”

“Tell them!!”

"If they possess the iron will of a warrior, even if the enemy outnumbers them ten to one, they will crumble before them!!"

After Major General Hase finished these empty words, the issue was over.

Not to mention that Major General Hase simply couldn't provide that much support.

Even if he had, he wouldn't give it to me!

How many casualties among the people of the Three Seas have he got to do with?

Major General Hase must first satisfy the needs of his own army.

"Then..." the staff officer asked tentatively.

"Transport ship..."

"No." Major General Hase didn't even blink.

Now he has allocated all the transport ships to deliver supplies to his assembling fleet.

Currently, an unprecedentedly large fleet is being assembled——

Including three battleships, five aircraft carriers, more than 20 light and heavy cruisers, and hundreds of destroyers and frigates, the total tonnage has exceeded 600,000 tons.

In order to meet the food, steel, and fuel needs of this huge fleet...

All the transport fleets were so busy that they had almost no time to rest.

In this case, it is impossible to send a spare transport ship to the southern continent for evacuation.

"General." The staff officer took out another document.

"Due to the impact of the events on the southern continent, the supply of fertilizers, seeds, and planting machinery to several agricultural production bases may also be..."

"The expert group speculates that this year's harvest may be greatly affected."

"Many places are hoarding food, and rice riots have broken out in many places."

Even if there is a stargate on Mercury, its carrying capacity is limited and it must first meet military needs.

Therefore, unless it is a planet with abundant star gates, the food needs of the various colonized planets and colonized planes of the Holy Sun Empire will have to be solved by themselves to a large extent.

So after learning that there was a high probability of a food production reduction this year, panic quickly swept across the third planet.

Many powerful and unscrupulous businessmen saw an opportunity and began to hoard grain, driving up the price of grain.

After all, at this time of national crisis, we have an obligation to make some money.

As a result, various rice riots broke out rapidly, and the short-term, looting and zero-yuan shopping quickly became a fashion trend.

"In order to avoid greater unrest," the staff officer suggested.

"General, do you think we should check it out?"

"It's just a normal rice riot." Major General Hase didn't take it seriously.

"It happens every year. Let the police and military police do some hard work, arrest more people, and the situation will naturally calm down."

"Okay, let's not talk about these little things." Finally, Major General Hase knocked on the table and reiterated the topic.

"What we're discussing today is the war. Do you understand?"

The staff officer nodded silently.

He got it.

The general was also involved in driving up food prices.

Well, it seems that I can go back and tell my family that there is no need to withdraw investment and I should continue to increase my efforts.

Then the staff officer projected a new picture onto the screen.

It was a mighty and majestic steel behemoth patrolling in the raging waves.

"General, this is the latest photo captured by our satellite."

"The general's predictions are as accurate as a god!" the staff officer exclaimed.

"The Mechanical Legion has indeed launched a new warship—

Based on its shape, we speculate that this is most likely the Dingyuan!!"

Chapter 393 - My opinion, General

At first, almost everyone was confused about Rear Admiral Hase's order to assemble the fleet.

Although I don't know why, an ironclad ship exactly like the Zhenyuan appeared -

But whether it is a rebellion by rebels or a rebellion by intelligent machines.

After all, it was just a 7,000-ton ironclad ship.

To deal with such a lonely warship, we can simply use bombers to bomb it randomly.

If that doesn't work, wouldn't it be enough to just put together a small fleet?

But Major General Hase's posture was as if he was using the same strength to deal with a tiger to deal with a cat.

Therefore, some people have been speculating whether Major General Hase wanted to take the opportunity to carry out a purge and remove some people he disliked.

Therefore, many people are giving warnings, either openly or covertly.

General, why bother?

If you have any needs, just tell us.

Brandishing swords and guns doesn't have a good impact.

But Major General Hase was stubborn.

"Listen!"

"That aviation battleship is definitely not an ordinary battleship!"

"According to the Academy's analysis, it's most likely a swarm of nanomachines!"

"If that thing were to take over a mining area or a factory—

"Then their numbers will explode!"

"They are very likely to form a powerful fleet!"

"We must prepare in advance, otherwise, it will be too late to regret!"

Major General Hase's resounding roar a few months ago still seems to be vivid in my ears.

The development of events further confirmed Major General Hase's foresight.

After occupying the industrial center of Yinjuyuan, the mechanical army's rapid expansion speed is almost despairing!

The entire southern continent has fallen into a precarious situation.

Later, they even detected that the Mechanical Legion's fleet was under construction.

"I don't know what encryption technology the nanomachine swarm uses," the staff officer continued.

"This prevents us from locating Ginjuhara and its port area."

“Even satellites can’t take pictures of that place.”

"It's as if the place is shrouded in a dark fog, and we know very little about what's inside."

"But fortunately, this encryption method may be due to huge energy consumption, or some other factors..."

"As a result, this layer of black fog only covers the area around Yinjuyuan."

"We can still collect information from other places."

"Then, we discovered this 20,000-ton battleship—

"The layout of its bridge, deck, turrets, and so on is almost identical to that of the Zhenyuan."

"It's simply an enlarged Zhenyuan."

"It was confirmed by the Academy of Sciences afterwards." Major General Hase said.

"That Zhenyuan ship is the source of everything.

"It is likely the mastermind of the Mechanical Legion."

"The Zhenyuan is probably anchored in the port area of ​​Yinjuyuan now."

"So after occupying the Silver Digging Plain, it couldn't wait to build a fleet to protect itself."

"This Dingyuan and the shady dealings in the port area are irrefutable evidence!"

Major General Hase swung his fist fiercely.

“But it never expected

"I expected all this!"

"The Holy Sun Empire's invincible navy has assembled and is about to launch a devastating attack on it!"

"As long as the Zhenyuan is destroyed, all disasters will end!"

Everyone could only admire this.

No wonder Major General Hase was able to become a general.

Look at that keen sense of smell!

Look at this wise plan for a rainy day.

While others were still panicking about the terror of the mechanical army and trembling with fear at the offensive of the mechanical army

Major General Hase saw the mechanical army's weakness at a glance and found a way to win.

And now, they see the door to victory.

"The main force of the Mechanical Legion is still on the southern continent, fighting a stalemate with our army, and the battle is difficult to determine."

"Now is the perfect time for our army to launch a surprise attack on the port area!"

"Perhaps the new Dingyuan will be another formidable aviation battleship."

"But our glorious Imperial Navy holds an absolute advantage!"

When this was said, all the naval officers present couldn't help but straighten their heads and chests, revealing proud expressions on their faces.

Yes.

When the Star Gate descended, it was the Imperial Navy's incredible first victory that paved the way for the rise of the Holy Sun Empire.
