In the parliament building.
" Your Majesty, the coalition fleet of the four countries has retreated. The Ghost Troop has tracked the enemy for two hundred nautical miles. After confirming that the enemy has no intention of returning, they have all retreated to the secret base!”
"The Black Ice Platform reported that the British Parliament had a 180-degree change in attitude after learning of the crushing defeat of the coalition's aircraft fleet. The members of Parliament led by Prime Minister MacDonald strongly opposed the military's all-out attack plan and immediately withdrew their troops!”
"At the same time, the Gaul government announced the withdrawal of the fleet, and the beautiful country announced the withdrawal of the fleet. Fusang did not publicly announce it, but they have already let the alliance fleet return to their homeland to repair!”
In the conference room, after Xiao Teng finished his report, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
It would be a lie to say that they were not worried. Even if the air force and the Ghost Troop were very strong, they were still worried that the alliance fleet would go all out and split up their forces to attack Qin Island.
Great Qin's Air Force only had less than 2000 fighter jets and 350 submarines. If the allied forces chose to split up and attack, they would not be able to defend at all.
If they could not stop it, the tragedy would repeat itself, and Great Qin's coastal regions would once again suffer heavy losses!
Fortunately, Qin Zhen made the right bet and predicted that the alliance army would not dare to launch an all-out war.
Firstly, they were incapable. Secondly, the war was too tragic. The people of Great Britain, Gauls, and beautiful countrymen all hated war and were highly pacifist. Who would be willing to start a war when there was no threat to national security?
Even though the Gaul government of Great Britain had been spreading the rumor that Great Qin was a threat and that if they did not destroy Great Qin, the world would not be peaceful, and their countries would not be able to live a good life, they had done their best to make things worse.
However, the Western commoners were not like the apathetic gardeners under the policy. Anyone who had read would know that if Great Qin was aggressive, it would have already started to colonize and plunder.
Great Qin had been doing business peacefully and had not offended anyone, so why would it make things difficult for others?
Of course, this was only the common people's perception. Politicians did not think so!
For hegemony, for the safety of the colony system, and for benefits, Great Qin was an enemy that had to be destroyed.
As for Fusang, the beautiful country of Great Britain, Gaul, had already withdrawn. What could "it" do? Attack Great Qin alone?
No, they wouldn't. Their main goal was to invade the flowers!
Qin Zhen leaned back in his chair, feeling as if he had just survived a disaster.
As a political novice, even after two years of training, he was still a little afraid of the western powers.
How should he put it?
In the first half of the 20th century, where many heroes fought for hegemony and wars raged, becoming the ruler of a country, and one that was hated by the western powers, was simply hell.
One had to know that their number one enemy, Great Britain, was not the Great Ying of the 21st century!
As a sea overlord that had been glorious for centuries, the colony had 35 million square kilometers and controlled hundreds of millions of people. Its family background was too rich.
Enemy number two, Beautiful Country!
The world's number one economic and industrial power. Although it pursued isolation and did not have a strong desire for external expansion, Qin Zhen, who had transmigrated, knew very well that the danger factor of a beautiful country was much higher than that of Great Britain.
Enemy number three, Gaul!
It could be ignored that he had been crippled in one battle.
Enemy number four, Fusang!
Currently, Fusang did not have the qualifications to threaten Great Qin.
Enemy number five, the polar bear!
After all, the Russian Empire had already been destroyed, and the Polar Bear Empire, which had only been established a few years ago, did not have any hostility towards Great Qin.
However, with different skin colors and different beliefs, they would become enemies sooner or later for the sake of their respective countries.
"Alright, all the crises have been resolved. The next step is to announce the closure of the country and officially start the first three-year development plan!”
The first three-year plan?
" Your Majesty," Xiao Teng asked curiously," I know that the first three-year plan is to rebuild the navy. What about the second three-year plan?"”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Qin Zhen.
This question was also what they wanted to know.
It was not the first time the Emperor had mentioned the first three-year plan.
Since it was the " first " three-year plan, there must be a second three-year plan.
"The second one? The second three-year plan was to break through the western blockade and build a super empire that surpassed Great Britain!”
With the system as his trump card, Qin Zhen stopped pretending and revealed his ambition.
The conference room was silent. Dozens of military and political officials were dumbfounded and at a loss.
Super Empire of the Sun Never Sets…?
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to expand his territory?
This…this seemed a little rebellious!
Qin Zhen observed the changes in everyone's expressions and expressed his understanding.
The people who planted flowers were influenced by the Confucian culture, and their thoughts were restrained. They were not interested in expanding their territory.
Another reason was that Great Qin had been established after the Southern Song Dynasty had fallen. During the Song Dynasty, culture was valued over martial arts, and the economy was highly developed. Even though Great Qin had expanded after establishing the country, it was mainly because the countries of East Manya did not cooperate with Great Qin that they were beaten up by Great Qin.
After the death of Emperor Gaozu, Qin Xiao, Emperor Wen of Qin, who had been in power for 55 years, succeeded to the throne. This completely confirmed that Great Qin did not want to expand its territory and only wanted to develop trade and economy.
Therefore, now that Qin Zhen had displayed his ambition to expand, everyone was shocked and felt that the Emperor was a little rebellious.
Shouldn't he wait until he was strong enough to break through the western blockade and continue doing business?
" You're right." Qin Zhen sighed and said in a deep voice," Think back to what happened to the empire during this period of time.”
"The West has banned the export of industrial resources to Great Qin, and the resource crisis has dealt a fatal blow to the economy. Many factories have stopped working, and millions of workers have lost their jobs!”
"The west banned the export of food to Great Qin, and the food crisis immediately erupted. If it wasn't for the Milky Way Trading Company's timely help, Great Qin would have collapsed and been slaughtered!”
" The two crises have exposed the fatal weakness of our small territory!”
"In the industrial era, resources are national strength. Why did Germany start a European war? There was only one purpose, to fight for colonies and resources!”
"Great Qin is lacking in resources, and if we want to resolve this threat, we can only expand and give our descendants a vast territory that doesn't need to worry about food and resources!”
Silence. Everyone looked at each other with mixed feelings.
In the past, they had never considered this problem because Great Qin had never been completely defeated by the western side, and they could buy food and resources from overseas.
However, Great Qin had suffered a crushing defeat in that battle, and in the past 13 years, the western side had become more and more strict with Great Qin, causing them to truly feel the pain of lacking resources.
The resource crisis could be tolerated, but what about the food crisis?
As Qin Zhen's loyal confidant, Navy Commander Qi Yangsong was the first to jump out and give his full support.
"Your Majesty is wise, Great Qin has to expand and defeat Great Britain, taking over all of its colonies!”
