Durin's Diary

Chapter 850: High Platform Destruction

The old emperor of this land sat down on the chair where his ancestors had always sat, ready to listen to the fierce quarrel among the ministers in the audience.

This was the retribution that the Emperor of Chang Tang deserved - his family had long wanted to pass this kind of shitty thing on to someone else, but the wise men said that this land could not be without an emperor, so in every generation of the royal family, there would be an unlucky guy chosen to be the emperor, and the descendants of the wise men would be insulted in the court.

It sounds pretty exciting, right? But the old emperor has been tired of hearing it for decades.

These old guys are fighting over the funding ratio of the navy, army and air force every day, or they are fighting over that little bit of research funding.

The army said they wanted money, and they were right. Without the army, the three passes would not have been able to be defended at all.

The navy said they wanted money, and they were not wrong. If there were no navy, Puppet Bone's navy would have landed in Tianjin long ago.

The Air Force said they wanted money, and they were not wrong. Without the Air Force, the losses of the Navy and the Army would not be much less.

Therefore, the three armies were relatively mild when they quarreled, but quarreling once a week still made the old emperor very frustrated - are you so active in attending court!
Thinking of this, the old emperor looked around and said, "Do you have anything to do today, my Lords? If not, let's go."

The emperor is old. Unlike before, when he was young, he could watch everyone quarreling for a whole day. Now, it would be best if there is no quarrel. After all, their emperor is old. He can no longer sit on the throne and watch the prime ministers and masters quarreling from dawn to dusk over 2% of the military expenditure like he did in the past.

The old master was the first to stand up, and Luo Xiangguo also stood up at the same time as him.

At the same time, Master Zhang Mengping, Prime Minister Lin, Grand Tutor Pang, and Prime Minister Liu also stood up together.

The old emperor fell silent.

Because he saw the whole process of the storm forming. Last time, just one group of people came out and made his waist groan. This time, three groups of people came out directly. Do you want your emperor to die in front of you?

Well, the royal family of Chang Tang has never had an emperor who died like this, so let me be the first one!

Thinking of this, the old emperor nodded and said: "Go ahead, what's the matter, but please follow the first come first served principle. Master Xiao Laoer, you go first."

The old emperor had already thought of the performance of his two colleagues who were madly making fun of the army and navy because of the increase in air force expenses, and he also thought of the two groups of representatives from the navy and the army who would fight back in order to avoid being bullied by the air force.

What sins did I commit in my previous life? Why did all my brothers die in the war, but I have to live here and suffer all my life?

"Your Majesty, this concerns the future of Chang Tang. Prime Minister Luo and I request that the Imperial Air Force provide escort arrangements for Mr. Xiao Sun and Mr. Du Lin's upcoming special operations."

Hey, aren’t you cursing over military spending?

The old emperor was a little surprised, but since they weren't arguing, he agreed. "I can agree to this, but according to the rules, you two should tell me how much air force your escort plan will require."

"All mobile aviation units in the Eastern and Northern Military Regions, including the Air Force, Army Aviation, and Navy Aviation, total 1,470 fighter jets, corresponding fighter pilots, and all active combat mages, totaling 1,325."

The entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The old emperor wiped his forehead and said, "Little old man, Prime Minister Luo, do you know what this means?"

"I understand. This represents the full deployment of the entire air force from the northern, eastern, and southern war zones of Chang Tang. However, Mr. Du Lin and Mr. Xiao Sun are assassinating the Chaos Demons remaining on the four islands. We must buy them time. To this end, all of my Mo family members will be deployed. Your Majesty, please allow this."

"All of the Luo family's descendants will also be present. Your Majesty, assassinating the Old Gods has always been the long-cherished wish of us Chang Tang people. If we can accomplish this, it will be of vital importance to Chang Tang's future."

Seeing the two elders, who were much older than him, bending down, the old emperor finally gave up and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter alone. You can discuss it with the military. If there is no problem, I will press the imperial seal on the action order."

If we can really kill the devil, then the sacrifice is acceptable. If the people are unhappy, let them blame me, an old man.

Thinking of this, he looked at Grand Tutor Pang and Prime Minister Liu: "Next, I want to ask Grand Tutor Pang and Prime Minister Liu, you two have always been at odds, how can you stand together today?"

"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor and I have come here today with the same purpose as this old man and Prime Minister Luo. If those two young men can truly assassinate the Great Demon, then the Chang Tang Army and Marines should contribute. Your servant and the Grand Tutor's descendants are willing to lead the charge. We will land on the island closest to us, establish a landing zone, and attract the attention of the puppet skeletons." Prime Minister Liu spoke, kneeling on both knees in deep obeisance. "Your servants are willing to fight tooth and nail and be the first to land. As long as the two young masters succeed, even if my children die on the beach, I will not hesitate."

"My descendants will also land together. The descendants of the Liu family and the Pang family will bathe in the sea of ​​blood together. There are not many such opportunities. We are willing to take a gamble." When Master Pang said this, he glanced at Zhang Mengping and Prime Minister Lin who had not spoken yet.

The old emperor of this land sighed deeply. He finally understood why Chen Xiaohu was carried into the hospital by the internal guards this morning.

You might as well blow my brains out for 2% of the military budget.

Thinking of this, he looked at the group of people who had not spoken yet: "Master Zhang, Prime Minister Lin, what do you think of the navy?"

"Of course we'll join in the effort, Your Majesty. The Army isn't afraid of death, the Air Force is willing to risk their lives, but is the Navy afraid of being thrown into the sea and fed to turtles?" Prime Minister Lin said this, bowing deeply. "Of course, our Navy knows everything about what Mr. Du Lin did in the Western Continent. After all, it's not the first time that a naval fleet has disguised itself as a merchant ship and headed to the Western Continent. Mr. Du Lin has killed two great demons in succession, and even the information about another Chaos demon hiding in the four islands was extracted from his mind by imprisoning the Withered Demon Lord. As long as we kill this beast again, we can use them to locate the kind grandmother of one of the Chaos Gods... Killing her will eliminate one of Chang Tang's four greatest threats. Your descendants are willing to command the ships of the vanguard fleet."

"My descendants are also willing to fight for this land. Your Majesty, please grant us your blessing."

Having said that, the old emperor looked at the old general.

If the military hadn't spoken up for him, this matter would not have been accomplished.

So he had to wait and see what the old man decided.

He stood up and said, "I second the motion. All my descendants will go to the battle."

As everyone knows, the general's three children, the eldest son and his bloodline serve in the army; the second son and his descendants work in the navy; and the youngest son and his children are in the air force, always fighting on the front lines.

"Once the ministers have finalized their plans, I will personally affix the imperial seal. The Crown Prince, the military supervisor, may have any objections."

This time, all the wise descendants bowed their heads.
