Chapter 268 [War without End]

"Interception."

Principal Lin looked at the densely packed group of warships of different sizes appearing on the radar.

The enemy's fleet must not be allowed to continue to exist.

The longer the enemy's warships remain, the greater the threat they pose to them.

As the interception order was issued, he didn't need to give any instructions. The two huge fleets rushed into the Zerg swarm without any scruples, as if they were carrying out a suicide attack.

However, this is not the case.

When the two large fleets entered the Zerg army, the three fleets deployed all their attack systems, various lasers and regular missiles, running wildly and focusing on the Zerg warriors that surrounded the two fleets.

Just a few moments.

Half of the area around the two fleets was cleared.

But the Zerg's counterattack was still so terrifying.

In less than two minutes, they rushed towards the two Star Ancient Empire warships that were trying to intercept their fleets.

They were like brave warriors charging fearlessly, regardless of the overwhelming artillery fire from behind.

You cleared out one batch, and we still have another batch.

The Zerg will fight a war of attrition with you like this, to see who can outlast the other.

Several other joint fleets are facing the same situation.

But no one called for retreat.

They were not fighting for themselves, they knew very well that they had completely fallen out with the Zerg this time, and there was only one outcome.

Never die.

Until one side falls.

……

Imperial Palace.

The ruling palace.

"Your Majesty, according to statistics from the front line, the war with the Zerg."

"In just three days, our losses have already been massive."

"Currently, the loss of 1.5 warships has reached million casualties. It is estimated that within the next week, our losses will reach an unprecedented level."

"The maximum loss is expected to be around 2.5 T0-class warships, and the casualties could reach a staggering 10 billion."

The military commander-in-chief Bai Wen stood in the ruling hall of the Xinggu Empire, looking at His Majesty on the throne with a calm expression on his face. He told His Majesty the Emperor the detailed battle report from the front line.

A hundred years would not be enough to reduce the size of the Empire's T0-class combined fleet.

Therefore, except for the First Combined Fleet, the other T0-level combined fleets are basically the fully equipped formations of the past.

She wasn't panicking at all.

"What's going on? The loss of more than 0 T1.5-class warships, and the casualties reached an astonishing people? You only took over one six-dimensional universe?"

Upon hearing this, Public Security Minister Bai Hong turned around and looked at his own patriarch in shock.

To know.

When we fought against the O'Reilly Empire, we didn't lose so many warships.

Now we have lost so many warships and suffered casualties.

In the end you just took down the universe?
Fighting is still going on at the front line, and losses are increasing at a very fast rate.

"Master Bai, don't forget it."

"The O'Reilly Empire belongs to human civilization after all, but what about the Zerg?"

"The Zerg are not human civilization. How could they easily give up their territory to you?"

"Besides, it is well known that the Zerg are eager for territory. If you compress their living environment, how can they not go crazy?"

Prime Minister Long Ye glanced at the Minister of Public Security.

Human civilization, after all, still takes the overall situation into consideration. As for the Zerg, their way of survival is that the more territory they have, the stronger they become.

If you seize other people's territory, how can they not go crazy?
"Your Majesty, I propose that Marshal Bai Lin be released from prison and allowed to join the war."

at this time.

Finance Minister Yang Li'er stood out from the queue and expressed her thoughts.

At this time, you should not care about previous losses.

Let’s talk about Bai Lin’s problem after this is over.

Now the war is more important.

This concerns the survival of human civilization.

The grudges between individuals cannot be compared with the human civilization as a race.

"How is the empire's logistics?" Yang Yu asked after waiting for the noisy ruling hall to quiet down, looking at Yang Li'er.

War is fought with logistics.

Therefore, the losses on the front line must be compensated by logistics as quickly as possible.

otherwise.

The consequences are unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, the Empire Starport is currently accelerating the construction of warships and is fully capable of bearing the current losses and consumption."

"We currently have 20,000 six-dimensional universes. Our imperial finance plan is for two six-dimensional universes to jointly build one."

"In this way, a T0-class battleship can be built in two days."

"As for the personnel additions, that depends on the Imperial Chancellery."

Finance Minister Yang Li'er immediately drew up the corresponding list.

"Will it have a negative impact on the normal development of the empire?"

Yang Yu asked.

If the war affects the development of the empire, then we will have to tighten our belts.

"It can't affect the empire at the moment, but if it lasts longer, it will still have an impact on our empire's finances."

"Our finance department is expected to increase commercial trade with the Elf Empire to keep the funds rolling. In this way, we can fight the Zerg for a long time."

"Of course, our Imperial Ministry of Finance has not cut funding for the Imperial Academy of Engineering's projects. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Yang Li'er informed the Emperor that subsequent wars might affect the empire's fiscal revenue, but she also assured the Emperor that the war would not affect the project funding of the Imperial Academy of Engineering.

After all, all the empire's technology comes from the unremitting efforts of the Imperial Academy of Engineering.

Listening to Yang Li'er's words, Yang Yu was very satisfied and said, "If allowed, the Empire can sell those warships of the O'Reilly Empire that have not been dismantled to the Elf Empire. Even selling the Empire's T1-class warships to the Elf Empire is not impossible."

The best thing would be to be able to exchange it for sufficient funds and resources.

War is fought for money.

"Lord Long, what do you think?"

Yang Yu's eyes fell on Prime Minister Long Ye and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, the current population of the empire is more than enough to join this war. I can say responsibly that when the war begins, the explosive troop capacity of our Xinggu Empire will be directly increased by 300%, and the warship construction speed will be increased by 300%."

"And it will not affect the development of various industries in the empire."

Long Ye immediately projected some data in front of him, pointed at the data, and said: "Perhaps, relying on the citizens of the Empire in the six-dimensional world to fight against the Zerg, this is impossible."

"But after we migrate the people of the four-dimensional and five-dimensional worlds to the star world, we will be able to take over one-third of the Zerg's territory even if we just use population."

"Everyone talks big, let's talk about something practical."

The Minister of Education said bluntly: "The simultaneous implementation of various projects has put a great pressure on the empire's finances. May I ask, Minister of Finance, is there really enough money? If not, I am willing to contribute 90% of my family's assets."

"you……"
